Default Typical Household Electricity Usage ?

Tried any social tariffs ? Check out http://www.ebico.co.uk - their
prices are probably due for an overhaul, but for low users (not sure
if you fall into that category) they were hard to beat.


For the Eastern region Ebico have just increased their Economy 7 prices
thus:

- day: 15.81 p/kWh - was 12.56 p/kWh - 26% increase
- night: 6.59 p/kWh - was 4.61 p/kWh - 43% increase!

They're certainly far from competitive now for E7 users with a high
average night consumption.

I've put in yet another switching application. The best I could find
for my consumption (~9800 kWh pa of which 65% at night) is EDF Energy's
new "Online Electricity V6" tariff:

- day (1): 15.64 p/kWh for first 900 kWh pa
- day (2): 9.03 p/kWh
- night: 5.34 p/kWh

(All prices quoted ex-VAT.)
