Ok so I’ve got the default standard variable rates from Scottish power. Is it possible to work out approx hoe much it might be each month based on my previous usage? 

GAS

Exc VAT

Standing Charge 25.92p 

Unit Rate -6.935p 

Inc VAT

Standing Charge 27.22p

Unit Rate 7.282p

Electricity
Exc VAT
Standing charge -45.31p 
Unit Rate -28.175p --- --- 

Inc VAT
Standing Charge 47.580p
Unit Rate - 29.58

Yes that is possible, but you need to give us the information how much you used the past 12 months.

I did that previously in the thread. 

My bill in Feb 2022 says my gas usage in the past 12 months was gas 10,470 kWh and electricity 1,825 kWh.

On the April variable rate, that's approx. £1560/yr, £130/month.
Which I calculated for you on the first page of the thread:

Plan for the October cap to be 25% -30% more.
