i know i should have links to most stuff by now but is it too early to see a regional breakdown of costs anywhere??

Scroll down a bit here for regional costs.. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-consumers/energy-advice-households/get-energy-price-cap-standing-charges-and-unit-rates-region

thank you. i am confused, i had in my head (rounded up) that for Yorkshire the UR was 27p electric and 6.7p gas. that chart says 24.69 electric and 6.54 gas (about what was in my head). with those figures it's a hell of a lot more than 5% rise.

That table looks a bit screwy to me e.g. shows Southern region Electric DD as current rate 25.38 when it should be 27.51  or am I misreading it?  

I do like the SC reduction from 49.99p to 49.97p (if its actually right)....whoopee lets celebrate  😂

@ladyofdragons - didn't you say you were on a fix? Fixed rate tariffs are completely separate to the cap, which only affects the standard variable tariff. 

RTA - just checked back - I see it was a fix you were comparing with, rather than you being on a fix currently.

The figure in the regional table says gas up 12+% and electricity 17+% in Eastern … Table probably wrong

I don't think you are misreading it. My figures also do not agree with the current price cap unit costs in my region.

East Midlands is currently 26.76p /kWh and the table has 23.94p /kWh

Well that table does look a little odd as it appears that the standing charges include VAT but the kwh figures do not.  But usage figures up by 12% although SC remain the same(ish)

The good old fashioned table to work it out for yourself is here Default tariff cap level 11b: 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024

The new unit prices agree across both.

Thanks, but I cannot see where you are getting the figures from.

Can you confirm how I can see the East Midlands electricity rates for Q4 2023 and Q1 2024?

For Q4 2023 EON Next currently has 50.31p / day and 26.76p / kWh

The table has 50.70p / day and 23.94p / kWh for the same period

I don't see how I can rely on the 2024 figures until I see that the Q4 2023 figures are accurate.

Looks like it could be correct and Eastern just caught up with everyone else if you go by the info regarding the new Eastern region EDF fixes on this thread:
