General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

My latest electricity bill was waiting for me when I got home ......

About your electricity tariff:

Tariff name: Pay Monthly Variable
Payment method: Monthly direct debit
Unit rate: 26.69p / kWh
Standing charge: 40.23p / day (£146.84/year)
Estimated annual usage: 3936 kWh
Termination fee: None.

They're the new / higher rates from 1st April, up from 19.172 per kWh and 23.212 per day.
That's 39% increase on the electricity and 74% increase on the standing charge. (well, somebody has to pay for the 'smart' meters!)

So - I had a look for a cheaper contract and found the cheapest was one called "OVO Energy" (never heard of him!) a twelve month fixed rate contract at ......
Unit rate 37.055p per kWh
Standing charge 43.09p per day.

Next was Scottish Power, 13 month fixed rate contract, at ......

Unit rate 55.675p per kWh
Standing charge 42.24p per day

Now, that really is taking the piss, so I'm sticking with Bulb!
