British Gas Fixed V19 Exclusive

Hi all,

I’ve been offered the above tariff with BG. The rates of it are shown below, as well as what my standard variable rates are

I think I’ve figured out that it will be around 30% more expensive?

Any advice would be appreciated as that seems like a good deal considering the upcoming 51% increase?

The usage figures that these are based on are 10345kwh gas and 3842kwh of electricity. 

I’ve estimated my annual use currently is £2080 a year, and the fix offered will be £2850 a year. 

I just want some clarification that my maths is right?  :D

    Based on current best guess predictions of 42p kWh Elec and 12.5p kWh for gas it looks like a slam dunk even with the extra cost til October 1st👍
