Too much!
Well, actually it could be worse. 15-20kWh/day (yes I know) would be ~£5.50-£7.50 at EPG.
With an average of 20kWh/day in the last meter reading - because the heating was still coming on even in June! before the heatwave started - on Tracker it actually cost an average of £3.84/day.
[A few reasons for higher usage, some of which cannot be changed and a couple which theoretically could be but realistically are just not happening. There's other more important stuff we need to concentrate on right now though so it's a case of picking one's battles!]1 -
Current Spend 2-4xx per day.
Though 'Experimenting' with new Storage Heater.
£3xx range has been most popular since June SVR.
I have Never seen £5 on Smart Meter.

Currently using 3.5 to 4kWh per day. About £1.60/day inc s/c & VAT. Down from winter use of 4 - 6kWh.
Some things are not seasonal (fridge, freezer, washing machine, mains burglar and smoke alarms, elec shower, elec garage door, desktop PC, radio, mobile charging, TV viewing etc) but now using less lights, no kitchen plinth heater, boiler pump, etc. Fridge & freezer working harder in this recent heatwave. Use over past 20 years was pretty consistent although extra efforts in the face of price hikes have seen my consumption over past 9 months reduce by around 15% on electricity and 25% on gas.0 -
Average daily use so far in June - 5.2 kWh/day
Average cost on Octopus Tracker v2 would be circa. £1.20/day.0 -
I'm on E7. It varies between £1.30 to £2.90 per day
The highest amount days is the darn teen in the shower, despite putting an egg timer in there and telling her a billion times to use it. 😬0
