 Anyone tried 'Flipper'? - smokie
Fair enough Crankcase. I'd say it was definitely one of the cheapest for me when I was swapped to it following the demise of Iresa.

It always seems difficult finding a comparable tariff from these companies (especially as I have what EDF call a complex meter, requiring I phone them for a quote!) but the one I have found is cheaper than my daytime Octopus rate (13.797p incl VAT) but I also have 4 hours (00:30 to 04:30) at 4.998p per unit (which is the Go tariff and saves me a lot as I charge the car overnight and we run the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher as required). My January consumption was 626 kWh at an average unit cost of 11.003p per unit. Standing charge i£s 25.001p inc VAT.

The EDF rate I found was GoElectric May21 with a unit rate of 11.8p and a standing charge of 27.13p, so for me it is still cheap compared to that rate.


Maybe of interest to some, while looking at the stats I noticed that a full charge on my car is about 13kWh, so a cost of 65p overnight rate or £1.60 in the day. I only get about 26 - 30 miles at this time of year from a full charge (about 50% more in summer) but that is often more than enough for a day's motoring these days. So I have only very intermittent and small petrol bills for my miniscule annual mileage (only 4200 last year) but obviously additional costs on my leccy bill. (In the summer my charging pattern changes as the solar panels give me some of those miles free...)
