Lucas91, I’d guess that just about ANY supplier would beat your 32p / kWh tariff, any!  Pretty much any of the mainstream UK companies SVT will better that. There’s something you’re  not telling us about your situation / tariff I suspect. 

I'm all ears, or should that be eyes?

Not one mainstream UK supplier will beat the tariff I am on, especially not on their SVT.
There is one supplier that may be able to better the tariff I am on, but they won't currently accept me due to Coronavirus.

What do you think I am not telling you?
I'm just highlighting some of the rash decisions people can make when  they think they are moneysaving; such rash decisions can end up costing a lot pf money.

I'm presuming you're offsetting a high electricity unit price with a low gas unit price, or you're a very, very low electricity user and so the higher per unit electricity cost is offset by a low standing daily charge. Otherwise I'm stumped how you'd be paying more at 12p vs your current 32p a unit.

How does anyone end up paying 32p/kwh - unless they somehow think that the s/c gets added to every kwh rather than just once a day although that's effectively what some zero standing charge suppliers do but it only works for extremely low users.

There are some high cost suppliers in the channel island or even the highlands and islands but 32p is just plain ridiculous.

How much more specific would you like me to be?
I am on an ordinary domestic contract. As I said "from our licenced supplier for rate 1 electricity."

I was responding to your post that suggested I should not be paying more than "more than about 12p - 15p per kWh." and your advice that "get a refund for all the overcharging".
I was also intending to follow your advice to report them to Trading Standards.

If you think what I currently pay is expensive, could you suggest where I could get the same thing cheaper, please?

...

You need to establish your annual consumption in kWh from actual meter readings and then do some wider market comparisons, starting with Citizens Advice and 'Switch with Which?'.  ..

Still beating that broken drum, I see.

What's broken?

• Do you disagree that the you should start from annual kWh usage figure?  If so, what do you suggest?
• Do you disagree with using actual meter readings?  Do you think that guesses based on type of property, number of people or the phase of the moon will be more accurate?
  
• Do you think that your choice should be limited to the narrow market, i.e. only the expensive suppliers that pay commission?  Most comparison sites default to that, which is why always I suggest starting with Citizens Advice and 'Switch with Which?' because they don't attempt to limit your selection in this way.
  

The MSE guidance is quite good, but sadly the CEC that it recommends does NOT honour its promise to show all suppliers. However, there's nothing to stop you getting the best of all worlds by including the CEC as well.

Perhaps re-read the accurate advice provided by @Kitchen_Sink in the above link, before you start going around in that circle again.

TBH I think that some of you are missing the point - the OP is not getting his leccy directly from the supplier but via his Landlord using a sub meter. He can't shop around or use a comparison site because he has no control over who supplies his leccy, it's down to the LL

What do I think you’re not telling us??  How about the provider and the tariff?  If it’s that good (!) then you need to share the good news.

Can’t be that, they’d have to pay you to use gas to offset that difference in price.  Frankly, without more accurate info then it just seems like a troll having their idea of fun. Shame as they gatecrashed someone else’s problem thread.

I don't think you are allowed to call other members of this forum trolls are you?

Whatever happened to the forum etiquette that used to exist on this forum of:
Please be nice to all MoneySavers.
Remember, the prime aim is to help provide info and resources. If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue.

If you have to resort to childish name calling of others, you've usually already lost the arguement.

Then may I urge you to take a break from posting, and start reading the informative posts of others. You never know, it might learn something.

Says the person who's diligently attacked me with a barrage of posts accusing me of banging a monotonous broken drum, asking whether I work for Neon Reef, going round in circles, calls me 'it' and tries to censor me !
