The "typical household" usage which is the number the lumpen-media usually quote is based on 12000 kWh of gas and 2900 kWh of electricity.

A bit of hunting about and it seems that E7 users usage is based on 4,200 kWh/year.

So for the typical user on dual fuel, they can use £3.5 times as much as a typical E7 user.

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.

Where did you find that figure - I was wondering how it would work for E7.

Shows a 58/42 day/night split which I missed earlier.
