Hi I've been offered a fix with sainsburys Smooth renew v20. I'd like to compare the unit rates and standing charges with the Svt predicted ones for the next year. 

I believe someone has posted a table before based on Cornwall predictions. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 

For reference the fix I'm being offered is

Elec 
60.08p per kw
42.24 SC

Gas
15.09p per kw
27.22 SC

Estimated usage (but based on 12 months of real meter readings)
Elec - 2618
Gas - 12,189

Thank you

    Great thanks. To work out the Standing Charge per day do I divide the £170 and £100 figures by 365?

    The kWh prices vary regionally for both gas & electric, but the standing charge only varies for electricity, there are no regional variation for the gas standing charge.

    oh wow OK I didn't know there were regional variations for KWh prices, and elec SC. Interesting.

    Based on the table above and compared to the rates I'm being offered, I guess I will be paying higher rates in Oct compared to the SVT, but lower in Jan and April.

    In which case, I should fix and as I have no exit fees, I can switch back onto variable if anything changes?

    Yep,that's what a lot of people are doing. We predict that we'll make a loss in October - December, but make it back next year.
    and there's no fees to leave if things work out differently.
