The Energy Price Guarantee unit rates for standard variable tariffs are shown below. These are the maximum unit rates suppliers can charge for tariffs that are subject to the Ofgem price cap in effect from 1 October to 31 December 2022. Suppliers can also charge less than these rates.
Note that for customers on multi-register tariffs such as Economy 7, suppliers have flexibility to apply slightly different discounts to the individual rates within the tariff, helping to balance-out the reduction of more expensive day rates with cheaper night-time electricity rates. Each supplier will approach this differently.
