Compare Business Energy Prices

Hi
Anyone know an easy way to compare business energy prices.
For example, if we use 17,000 kwh per year (electricity) and the SC is 25p per day and the unit rate 31.50p against another company who offers SC of 30p and a unit rate of 27.3p.
Please help.

Excel could work it out rather easily but guessing you aren't too savvy with it?2

Multiply the SC by 365, multiply the unit rate by 17,000. Add the two results. Repeat for other supplier. See which is least.
However, as the difference in unit price is nearly as much as the difference in SC, you'll recoup the extra SC cost in less than 2 units of consumption.

Surely if you have a business you can work excel or a calculator?
However, this may help

Your standing charges look good, i've just had a quote from our current supplier and they want £1.59 a day standing charge on Gas. Who are you with?0

@woody19763 I think that Cocoholic's were for illustration rather than actual.
It's always difficult to compare Business tariffs - in theory they could all be different. Mines nearly £9 but I do use 150,000 kWh a yearNever pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0
