1 kwh = 0.11013 inclusive of 5% vat

our electric has gone up 100% on the new system

we pay £10 for 100 kwh at BWML Apsley ... I thought that they weren't allowed to charge in excess of what they pay apart from a small service charge

Sounds very reasonable to me. Having just done an online comparison for home electricity the cheapest deal I can find is 11.12p per kWh + 22p per day standing charge (including VAT). Our current deal is quite a lot higher than that.

At home we pay 12.78p +5%VAT per kWh with a standing charge of 15.66p per day.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good deal to me!

That doesn't sound bad, especially if you use it to measure an appliance...

 

i.e. 32" Samsung HD TV uses 39w per hour so you'd get 25hrs of TV for your 11p.

I suspect you'll find that's cheaper than any card system

[Starcoaster]

I find that this business about the reselling rate having to be the same as the supply rate totally pointless, when the re-seller can add a service charge per unit of literally whatever they choose and this is fine.

 

I pay 25p per unit at the moment (I am on a private mooring at present, using hookup on a plug-in meter) including VAT (on both the electric and the service charge). I haven't ever even been given a breakdown of the split, although I am aware that whatever the electric base price is will be significantly less than 25p a go!

I am aware that this is possibly flouting the rules, but then I am also aware of the "if you don't like it, don't use his hookup" school of thought, and as I was aware of the charge when I arranged to stop here, I'm not moaning as such although I do find it pretty money grabbing!

 

Does anyone else pay more per unit?
