The deals above are what's openly on the market. SwitchPilot members get access to exclusive tariffs that don't appear here or on any comparison site - because we make suppliers compete directly for your business. When a supplier wins your deal, they pay us a fee. We give you 10% of it back as cashback.
The maximum your supplier can charge on a standard variable tariff. All figures include 5% VAT.
*Based on Ofgem's typical domestic consumption: 2,700 kWh electricity + 11,500 kWh gas per year. This is the UK average and varies by region. We calculate your exact regional cap based on your selected area and usage (inc 5% VAT).
Fixed: Rate locked for 12-24 months. Protects against price rises but may have exit fees.
Variable: Rate can change anytime, usually following the price cap.
Daily fee you pay regardless of usage (typically 30-60p/day per fuel). This covers meter reading, billing, and grid maintenance.
Cost per kWh of energy used. This is where most of your bill comes from. Lower is better, but watch the standing charge too!
Fee to leave a fixed tariff early (typically £25-100 per fuel). No exit fees on variable tariffs or when contract ends.
What you pay even with zero usage. Higher standing charges mean you're funding:
💡 Standing charges vary by region due to different network costs (DNO areas).
What you pay per kWh consumed. Higher unit rates mean you're funding more:
💡 Low users benefit from low standing charges. High users benefit from low unit rates.
When a supplier claims "100% renewable electricity", they've purchased REGOs (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) or signed PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) with UK renewable generators.
However: The electricity physically coming into your home is from the National Grid - a mix of wind, solar, nuclear, gas, and other sources. You can't choose which electrons reach your socket!
Think of it like this: everyone draws from the same pool of water, but green tariffs pay to add more clean water to that pool. Your money supports renewable generation, even if your actual electrons are mixed source. (Note: Some suppliers like Fuse Energy choose not to claim 100% renewable for this reason, preferring transparency over REGO-backed marketing.)
