Just spotted that the way the government cap works (17p off each kWh) means my night rate is 8.16p per kWh - the cheapest it's been for two years!

    Who is this with please, and is it confirmed as definite? If it definitely DOES work like that, then mine would go to around 10p - which I would also be delighted with!

    Prices are 17.85p per kWh less than what they would have been without the extra government support but are still going up overall. My day time rate is increasing by 10.3p and my night time rate is reducing by 3.5p per unit but there is very wide differences between suppliers and regions.

    And note - 17.85p is the pre-announced 17p + VAT.

    That pretty much matches what we think we saw with the EdF rate card, a flat reduction to both day and night rates.

    Do you know what it was going to go to with the old October cap though?  We think it's 17.85p lower than that rate (where published).
