    Looks like fixing was the right move then, with the new cap rates announced...

    I fixed in July  I am in SE England and fixed with Octopus the following rates: 

    E 23.89p/kWh
    ESC 54.83p/day

    G 5.58p/kWh
    GSC 28.8p/day

    Might be a touch more expensive on the unit rates for electricity but it's better than those eye-watering standing charges - they really should break them down on the bills further for transparency. It seems to be the catch-all dumping ground for all other costs.
