You can do a price comparison. https://www.moneyexpert.com/gas-electricity/?utm_source=googleppc&utm_medium=cpc&utm_adgroup=160836608040&utm_content=689509728400&utm_term=good%20electricity%20provider&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD6_9x8TEuCYlLu9VTVEFYZUHoPhk&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-aK8BhCDARIsAL_-H9l4tcJteQfhPDF2ACKJG0kwgZp1bs0UKqCVbU1tU7gY0UFx4KnbjqsaAuccEALw_wcB

I'm with Octopus for my electric supply on a fixed tariff, standing charge is 49.98p per day, my average bill is £40.

I don't see how your standing charge can be nearly as much as your electric usage?

Edit to add…I don't think you will find cheaper than Octopus and their customer service in my opinion is second to none!

Alas, it's just mathematics - all the so-called "advantageous" tariffs are not really that. Energy companies will not miss out on their profit.
