Where these figures come from

Prices from the suppliers that publish their tariffs openly: Octopus Energy (with Co-op Energy and London Power), EDF and E.ON Next (with Sainsbury's Energy); other suppliers are not listed. Unit rates and standing charges are read once a day from each supplier's own tariff feed, most recently on 15 Nov 2026, and shown as printed. Prices are the feeds' VAT-inclusive figures as printed, which on 15 Nov 2026 carried no VAT on electricity and 5% VAT on gas. No VAT is added or removed here.

Annual figures are for Ofgem's typical household (2,500 kWh of electricity and 9,500 kWh of gas a year, in force since 1 July 2026): unit rate x typical use + standing charge x 365. Economy 7 figures use Ofgem's typical multi-rate household: 3,400 kWh a year, 58% at the day rate and 42% at the night rate. Your own use will differ, so your bill will too. A tariff that charges different rates at different times of day is listed with its standing charge and never given one figure.

The price cap is Ofgem's, for 1 October to 31 December 2026: unit rates and standing charges by region. Typical use is Ofgem's too: typical domestic consumption values. Contains public sector information from Ofgem, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
