The graphs provide a guide to general trends in electricity prices, show where specific electricity providers are in their pricing cycle, and show which providers are cheapest for a specific usage profile.
The Powerswitch price trend graphs show prices for annual electricity usage in the area specified over a 3-year period.
The graphs provide a guide to general trends in electricity prices, show where specific electricity providers are in their 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 (for example, woodburners or as heating).
Prices are for the standard pricing plan of this type from each retailer.
Prices include prompt and electronic payment discounts.
We use the cheapest available plan from each retailer. In some instances this may have special conditions attached. Any special conditions are listed on the main Powerswitch results pages.
We don't include low-user pricing plans.
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 doesn't cover the full 3-year period, it is because we do not have a set of historical prices going back the full 3 years, or because that retailer has only more recently started operating in the area.
