Compare Cheapest Gas and Electricity Prices – November 2023

With gas and electricity comparison sites currently not active, it is difficult to quickly compare energy prices.

Currently, the only way to do this is to compare every single individual supplier separately.

To help give you an idea of who the cheapest suppliers currently are, we have created a list below of the cheapest fixed and variable rates tariffs we could find from every supplier so you can see the best deals.

We have two tables for each tariff type, one showing their gas and electricity unit rates and standing charges. The other shows estimated costs based on average usage.

It is important to not just look at price when considering switching energy suppliers, so we have linked to our reviews of each supplier in each table.

*Please note that standing charges and unit charges change based on your region, so please check with the supplier using your own postcode to get the correct amount you will be charged. For prices, we have used the average energy usage of a 3-bedroom house.

Cheapest variable tariffs – estimate prices (November 2023)

In this first table, we have compared all variable tariffs we could find that are currently available to new customers. A few things to note with this:

  • Fuse Energy only offer electricity, they do not offer gas.
  • Some of these suppliers may offer other incentives, e.g. Sainsbury’s offer Nectar points.
  • The cheapest supplier is not necessarily the best, so please check reviews before switching.
  • As mentioned, these costs are based on average usage in the East Midlands for dual fuel, paying by direct debit. You will likely get a different estimate with your own details. The table should be useful to help narrow down the suppliers you should consider, however.

Based on our criteria, the cheapest supplier currently for electricity on a variable tariff is Fuse Energy. You can only get electricity from them, no gas.

The cheapest dual fuel supplier for a variable tariff is Outfox The Market, closely followed by Octopus Energy. You can see the full list below:

Hi, I'm Rob and I run Energy-Review.co.uk. I initially started this project 5 years ago when I was looking to switch energy suppliers and found there wasn't a website that provided simple, data backed reviews on all the suppliers available. Since then, I spent have a lot of time (too much some may say!) looking at all publicly available data about each supplier and writing reviews using this information. These reviews are updated as regularly as possible and any data is backed up by a source where necessary. I have also started writing guides on various energy related topics which hopefully you will find useful. If you find any issues, please use our contact form to let us know.

If you're a customer of this supplier, you can leave your own review below.
