Considering a heat pump?The Powerswitch price trend graphs show rolling 3-year prices for annual electricity usage in the area specified.
The graphs provide a guide to general trends in electricity prices, show where specific electricity providers are in the pricing cycle, and show which providers are cheapest, for a specific usage profile.
Important: while the graphs are based on a common electricity usage profile, it may not match your individual electricity use, and so should be used as a guide only.
Technical details about the graphs:
- Prices displayed are for the most common electricity plan type in the area, for a household of 3-4 people, using electric water heating, electric cooking, and a mix of electric and other space heating (eg woodburners, gas heating).
- Prices are for the standard pricing plan of this type from each retailer.
- We don’t include low-user pricing plans in our trends graphs.
- We don't include pricing plans that require consumers to sign up for a fixed term
- We don’t include pricing for providers that only supply electricity to people if they also have gas provided by the same company.
- Prices displayed are for electricity only - we don't currently have price trends graphs for reticulated gas or bottled LPG.
- Where data for a provider does not cover the full three year period it is because we do not have a set of historical prices going back the full three years, or because that retailer has only more recently started operating in the area.
