    If you divide 90 by 150 and then multiple the result by 3.5p you should get the answer, roughly 2p.

    Also by the same means, if you had zero standing charge it would mean an extra 7p on unit rates, roughly.

    From what I heard, that 3.5p kwh would be for the average user, so won't necessarily be what you get.

    If the reduction is only £90, that would be 60% of 3.5p, which is 2.1p.

  • Thanks for all you help it makes comparing quotes from suppliers

    Possible WHD costs get moved from SC to Unit rates, spread evenly between both fuels from 1 April.
