You are not just paying on your bill just for the power that you use though but also infrastructure, eco obligations etc.
Typically the wholesale cost of the electricity only accounts for ~35% of the consumer bill & on domestic supply the energy companies are constrained to a minimal profit if they even manage to make that.

Obviously somewhat out of date but as an example of a historic breakdown https://sse.co.uk/help/energy/gas-electricity-bill-payment/bill-price-breakdown

Thanks for the SSE breakdown.

Not sure how those line up - but latest Ofgem breakdowns - all be it duel fuel - are given at e.g.

https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/latest-energy-price-cap-announced-ofgem

Wonder if could find the equivalent for 2022 in their archived news - might try later.

But god knows what wholesale, network etc means there - vs your cost of buying, delivery energy produced by SSE.

In the end - the price is the price - and it's not the retail vendor sector making the excess profit (think that is heavily capped - to few % by Ofgem)

And as an E10 (think old special vairant of E7) even the price gaurantee didn't stop me seeing a 11% increase in my heating / off-peak rate on the 1st.  But we all know that the new 31.8p discount means it's a lot less than would have been - but sure future tax bills will soon reflect that.
