Npower, Economy 7. Those are the prices on the last paper bill I have which is late last year. So they are likely to be a bit more this year no doubt but not by a huge factor.
Hmmmn, but looking at what they offer now.... Day rates are ~12p per unit and night ~4p and you have to pay a standing charge or some ridiculous rate for the first 729KWh (around 22p). So just choosing the cheapest part of the tariff isn't really a fair comparison.
We don't have E7, and pay ~12p per unit fixed rate, mainly because it is a much more transparent way to pay for our electrickery.

"you have to pay a standing charge" - you don't unless you wish to!
In the old days you paid a quarterly charge and still do with southern-electric £6 (think) - but you get it back if you pay bills promptly!
