South East

Many households and businesses in the UK are looking for ways to save money. We often think of our energy bills as a standard expense and many people don’t make an effort to shop around. That’s why Love Energy Savings has made it free and easy to compare energy prices and start saving money.

We ask you to fill out our simple form, including asking for your postcode. This is so we can show you the gas and electricity prices available in the South East as there are different contracts available in each part of the UK.

Don’t hang around and use our energy comparison tool to find out how much you could be saving.

How do energy prices in the South East differ from the rest of the UK?

The UK is split into 14 different energy regions. This means that there is regional variation in the amount UK residents pay on their gas and electricity, depending on where they live.

The amount you pay depends on a number of factors including; how many customers each energy provider supplies, how much energy is purchased by energy providers and the amount of money your supplier pays to the area’s local distribution network

Domestic energy prices in the South East

Unsurprisingly, prices for electricity and gas in the South East are above the national average as shown in the table below:

National Average Electricity Bill South East Average Electricity Bill National Average Gas Bill South East Average Gas Bill
£679 £694 £610 £622

Business energy prices in the South East

There is also regional variation with business electricity prices, we have used British Gas’ deemed unit rates for half hourly meter business customers.

Again, both the unit cost and standing charge costs for the South East are above UK average prices.

National Average Unit Costs South East Average Unit Costs National Average Standing Charge South East Average Standing Charge

Who are the incumbent energy suppliers in the South East?

Each region of the UK has an incumbent gas and electricity suppliers who are the default suppliers for homes and businesses in that area.

South East’s incumbent electricity supplier is Npower. The incumbent gas supplier is British Gas.

Why is this important? You may be on the incumbent supplier’s standard energy tariff if you have not switched energy supplier. That matters because standard contracts have some of the most expensive rates which means you overpay for your gas and electricity – day in and day out.
