Price of electricity

[adorabelle63]

Am interested in finding out rough costs of electricity at a marina-I pay £15 per 100 units which I think is ok but want to make sure I am paying enough as the owner hasn’t put this up over the last few years and I don’t want to make him out of pocket...

15p a unit is typical of the what you'd pay in a house from one of the half dozen big suppliers at the moment, so not unreasonable. Your concern for the mooring owner is commendable! There are laws for mooring owners that say they can't charge more than their costs for leccy.

Three months i stayed in a marina and it cost me this.

Month 1 £5.76

Month 2 £6.77

Month 3 £4.98

16p a unit.

Until recently our moorings owner was pricing at the rate you quote.  They have recently increased from 15p to 18p per unit to cover their costs.  It doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

I think they can add a reasonable sum to cover infrastructure costs.

Yes they can, but cost only. No profit margin. Mine comes from CaRT as it is one of their moorings and is currently(!) 15.8p a unit, including the infrastructure cost.
