The Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) 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 April to 31 June 2023. Suppliers can also charge less than these rates.
For customers on multi-register tariffs such as Economy 7, suppliers must apply the full discount to the individual rates within the tariff unless they have specific agreement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
