Cost of electricity

[Coldicote]

I've just had notice from my electricity supplier of my estimated household cost for the next 12 months. My home is all electric - no gas. Trying to make comparisons between different suppliers on the internet is like searching in a forest. They all want postcode, amount used, amount paid etc. All I want to know is which supplier(s), without too much fuss and palaver, are reputed to provide the best value for money. Perhaps I'm looking for something too simple. Any thoughts on this please?

giving your postcode, amount used and amount paid should be really easy if you have the bill

The newly-published Which? magazine (Feb) has just what you want - a report on the best and worst energy suppliers. In short, the big guys are bad and the small ones are good. The top-rated are Utility Warehouse, Ovo Energy and Ebico; the best big company is Eon.

In fact, if you put "Which? Switch" into Google you will have access to much of this report. Or, there could be a link to Which? on the right of these posts.

I find that most internet searches give unpteen quotes of how much I could save by switching to 'this or that' supplier. I'm not so interested in quotes as seeing how the different suppliers are rated compared to each other. I'm with Scottish Power at the moment and will be interested to look further at the Which? magazine. Very many thanks for these useful pointers.

Thank you very much for all this info.

Not sure I can help you here, but I am in the West Midlands area, and I pay 13.99 pence per Kwh, and that is with Npower. This seems very dear; can anyone tell me if theirs is cheaper than this, or should I put a generator on my hamster wheel?

[dotty.]

i pay 13.67 incl vat as of 4th jan and i am with npower
