Electricity prices and charges explained
Your bill is mainly made up of a daily standing charge and a unit rate in pence per kWh. VAT is 5 percent for most domestic customers in the UK.
- Standing charge: a daily cost that helps cover fixed network and policy costs
- Unit rate: the price you pay for each kWh of electricity you use
- Billing: monthly by direct debit, variable direct debit, or on receipt of bill depending on plan
Actual rates depend on your region, meter type and usage. Standard variable tariffs are subject to the energy price cap in Great Britain. See the regulator for details.
Smart meters for accurate, easier billing
Smart meters send readings automatically, so bills are based on actual use rather than estimates. The in home display helps you see what you are spending in near real time.
- Helps spot wasted energy and reduce costs
- Enables time of use tariffs where available
- Works with prepayment or credit mode depending on your setup
Appointment availability varies by area and meter type. We will let you know your options during sign up.
Switching is simple and seamless
- Get your quote and choose a plan
- Provide a few details to set up your account
- We contact your current supplier to manage the switch
- You take an opening meter reading if required

If you change your mind, you have a 14 day cooling off period on most domestic contracts.

Domestic electricity FAQs
What information do I need for a quote
Your postcode, email and an estimate of annual usage if you have it. A recent bill from your current supplier helps us tailor your quote.
Will my power be cut off when I switch
No. The physical wires and meter stay the same. Your new supplier takes over billing behind the scenes.
How are payments taken
Most customers pay monthly by direct debit. You can also use variable direct debit or pay on receipt of bill depending on plan and eligibility.
What is Economy 7
A multi rate tariff with 7 off peak hours overnight and a higher day rate. It can work well if you shift a good share of use to night time.
Do you offer renewable backed electricity
We can offer plans backed by renewable certificates where available. Details and availability will be shown during your quote.
Can I get a smart meter
In most areas we can arrange a smart meter install at no extra cost, subject to eligibility and appointment availability.
What is the energy price cap
It limits the unit rates and standing charges that suppliers can charge on standard variable tariffs in Great Britain. It does not cap your total bill, which depends on usage.
How do I read my meter
For traditional meters, write down the numbers from left to right, ignoring any red or after the decimal. For smart meters, readings are sent automatically but you can still view them on the in home display.
What if I am struggling to pay
Contact us as early as possible. We can discuss affordable payment plans, energy advice, and support schemes that you may qualify for.
How do exit fees work
Fixed term plans may include an exit fee if you leave before the end date. We will always show any fees clearly before you sign up.
