    All the guessing and examples are helpful, but what the OP wants is a link to the region specific tables giving unit and standing charge rates from 1/4.  I too would be grateful for any advice about where to find these so I can work out the actual effects for me.  Thanks.

    So doing the maths here based on the 'percentage increase' used:
    £1072 - £786 = £286 increase
    54% increase on £786 would be £424.44 (total = £1210.44)

    £286 increase is just over 36% more than my Shell tariff so that falls under the 40% which goes by the advice here...


    What matters is the calculation based on your own usage, the 'typical' user figures are irrelevant for you.,

    Thanks, I thought it may have been inaccurate as everyone would technically pay the same amount in standing charges over the year so wondered whether it should be focussed on the units being used as the biggest variable.

    Definitely, I've looked all over the ofgem website and I'm struggling to find the actual tariff table for the current fix. All the stuff on there seems to be for wholesale prices etc. If someone can post the link to where to see the current tariffs by region that would be great and also a link to the table tomorrow please.

    There isn't so much a "tariff table", it's this document (for the current cap):  Default tariff cap level: 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022        

    Tomorrow (apparently!) we'll get this doc for 1st April 2022 til October.

    There is no UK wide cap... so is this just an average?

    Yes there will always be regional variation, but it gives a good guide of where prices will land, especially the SC. Which has seen a big step up on Elec.
