Even more scarey when you see the prices being quoted.
Best we've found is 14.62p day unit and 11.02 night unit
30% rise :(

Make sure that the quoted price includes all the green levy sh!t ....... adds about 3p/kwh when broken down in to its component parts. And of course there will be a daily or weekly "service" charge on top.

You are being conned if they do charge 3p green levy. Mine is 0.5p
Was paying 10.58 p per unit for a domestic supply but contract has now changed to a different supplier and not sure what it will be next. As I buy through a group i cant post current prices but will happily pm you when I know next, but it will be a couple of months

I buy through a group too.
Trouble was they quoted a price for the power in pence per kilowatt and the green levy in pounds per kw.
Confused the old idiot somewhat but it is surprising how that green levy mounts up as it comprises a number of components

Group, one year from 1-10-18.

Day 12.33p

Night 7.55.

Daily fixed charge 28p

I thought that this was very high (compared to last year - up nearly 20%) but now I feel happier.

@bovrill are you buying from them too?

You pay a lot more for a business supply , the levies are tiered .... thought you would know that.
