Electricity Supplied By Landlord.

[SparklyKid]

Our electricity is privately metered. The price per unit has increased from 12.4 p to 15.2 p. A 22.58% increase.
Ofgen regulations state that there is a maximum resale price which must be adhered to.

The problem is, with so many suppliers out there, how do we know where the landlord gets the supply from and at what cost.

Also, with no daily standing charge, is 15.2 pence per KWH reasonable.

What’s in your contact with the park homes site?

Sparkly put you details in here and see what it says then go back to landlord, but tread carefully.

If you are in a Park Home owner will have upper hand, unless a few of you get together.

Cheers Tony, unfortunately we are tied in to landlord for leccy supply.

Our gas , we can pick and choose supplier. I just need to know where landlord goes to for leccy and at what cost to see if they conform to the regulations.

[SparklyKid]

It does not matter where the property is sited, the maximum resale costs still apply. I shall try to get a contact tel number for ofgem.

Can u ask your landlord?

>>> is 15.2 pence per KWH reasonable

It's a lot better than many people pay. I'm on British Gas's 'Safeguard' tariff and, from 1 January, I'll be paying 16.5p per kWh plus a daily standing charge.

[SparklyKid]

Thanks Buen, most reassuring.

SK....15.2p aint bad...consider the original install and upkeep of the site supplies.The install costs for a 50 pitch site with average spacing would be circa £70k and then the supplies should be tested every 3/5 years.Many domestic customers are paying similar if you include the standing charge.

"Also, with no daily standing charge, is 15.2 pence per KWH reasonable."

3,500 KWh (my average annual consumption) at 15.2p costs £532. At my rate (13.976p per KWh plus 20.81p per day) it costs me £563.

[SparklyKid]

Seems okay then, the sudden jump appeared rather excessive, thanks for all replies.

Hope your landlord's not a AB member Sparkly K

That's a good deal SK. I have just signed up to a new deal with no daily rate charges as I was paying 45.15p a day just on the daily rate. That's £164.79/year even if I never used any gas or electricity at all! What a flaming liberty as my old granny would say.

Look on this website, scroll down to your region then call the number. They will ask for your postcode and address and will tell you who supplies your electric.

I used this service a lot when Tenants vacated properties without leaving details of who their supplier was.

Thanks AL.
