    Total £1974.99

    Pretty damn close to the price cap of £1971 so I wouldn't bother complaining
    But I thought they were supposed to use the actual unit rates and standing charges as specified by Ofgem, is that no the case?

    SVT prices for the "average" consumer household vary by region.
    Suppliers are also allowed (within limits) to vary how they reach the figure for the "average" consumer household e.g. one might have slightly higher sc rates but slightly lower unit rates than another to reach the same figure. for the same consumption

    What ⬆️ says I was typing a reply lol

    So in short they haven't done anything wrong it's just the overly complicated way pricing is our together by different suppliers in different regions to just confuse us all.

    But no point taking it further tbh.
