"£X per month calculations are often far from the truth. You need to find the cost per kwh (and standing charge per day if the tariff works like that). Then you have to figure out what the "discounts" actually mean (£x for paperless billing might actually mean £x off at the end of a full year). And of course, make sure the figures include VAT! Then make sure you take account of any account closure fees.

The "simpler" tariffs are far from that IMHO, all smoke and mirrors... and worse.
