First time looking at usage from OVO since moving to them and becoming bill conscious. 

We live in a 2 bed flat. Two adults, one 6yo. This seems insanely high for us. 

The bill will be based on meter readings. Are these Actual / Smart readings, or Estimates?

What was your handover meter reading when you switched? What does your meter read today?

Is the meter you're reading definitely yours, or could it belong to a different flat? Try @Gerry1 's Meter Sanity Test, and make sure everything checks out.

Have you had a new smart meter installed in recent years? Again refering back to the thread I raised this week it seems very likely I'm being billed for 2 elec meters when I only have one. I've only noticed this as like you I've seen a massive spike in bills this month as they've adjusted the estimtated reading for the phantom meter. 

FYI I'm in 3 bedroom terrace, Gas heating, elec cooker/hobs, no tumble tryer but laundry room with dehumidifier and use rough average of 400 kWh per month

Surely we're not using half the annual national averge of electric a month. What is your usuage ?

The national average electric use assumes that people also use gas for heating.

An all electric property like yours will use far more electric than one being heated by gas.
