On a tangent, I've been sorting out my daughter's electricity for her new flat. She was on a prepayment meter, but I've signed her up on DD tariff with E-on.

She got her first bill - £180. That's for a 2 bed all electric flat, and they are out at work all day. I was surprised it was so high as that's more or less what we are for the same period in a 3 bed semi, with me at home a lot. Our heating / hot water is powered by gas.

I had a look at our tariffs, and was shocked at how much more expensive electric is compared to gas. Our electric is 28.98p per kwh, with a standing charge of 51p per day. Gas is 7.30p per kwh, standing charge 23p per day.

So electricity is 4 times more expensive than gas? I knew it was more expensive, but didn't think it would be that much. Wow.
