Big Switch 16 is ON!
I have just done a comparison to switch electricity provider, but found that the figures used on the MSE's comparison site (for Scottish Power Online Exclusive Fixed January 2021) are different from those itemised on my bills: MSE figures unit rate 19.559p per KWh (instead of 18.628, economy rate 8.871p instead of 8.449 and standing charge 32.571p per day instead of 31.020p). This would mean that comparisons to other providers/tariffs are inaccurate. Has anyone found the same? or could anyone throw some light as to how this may be? Thanks
