My electricity price fix with SP ends in June 2022. On the SP website they are offering me only one- and two-year fixes for when my current price fix ends.  However, Martin Lewis is suggesting it probably is best not to fix if the cost will be more than 18–20% more than the April price hike cost.

Does anyone know if SP have a standard electricity DD tariff for April 1st onwards and how much the unit rate & standing charge will be so I can compare to the fixes SP is 'offering'? I've tried phoning but can't get through and SP don't seem to be answering emails.

The average prices of the standard variable rate are on the link below. Some regional variations but a good idea of what you will be paying

Electricity standing charge per day 45p and 28p per kWh

Gas standing charge per day 27p and 7p per kWh

SP has a standard variable rate that you'll end up on if you don't accept a new fixed contract. This will be at the price cap for where you live.

SP's standard variable tariffs are very similar to everyone else's. Here are EDF's (link).

If you want to know SP's, you can fill in the form here (link) but it's a bit long-winded.
