The full ranked field

How this index is built
Each rate is checked against the supplier's own published page or API and dated. Off-peak rates are national; regional peak rates and standing charges feed the region-aware cost calculator. Where a supplier blocks automated checks we mark the rate estimated and tell you to confirm it. Full detail on our methodology and editorial policy.
