So for the typical user on dual fuel, they can use £3.5 times as much as a typical E7 user. https://selectra.co.uk/energy/guides/consumption/average-consumption-uk Simple maths, and not allowing for the £400 off. Dual Fuel £2500 / 14,900 kWh = 17p/kWh E7 £2500 / 4,200 kWh = 60p/kWh I know that playing about with standing charges can make a difference, but still don't seem right somewhere. Maybe I am missing something, somewhere. Edited October 1, 2022 by SteamyTea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find that figure - I was wondering how it would work for E7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
