I live on a park home site. Is the site owner charging us too much for electricity?

,,,,,,ask the site owner to give you a copy of the bill and an explanation of how they calculated the electricity to be £1.09 per unit. 

I presume you mean a copy of the bill that was sent to the site owner?
That will show the cost to him/her per unit. If this is what they say it is - £1.09 then you will just have to accept it. It is for the fuel company and the owner to negotiate - any resident cannot intervene in those negotiations simply because they (individually) do not have a contract with the fuel supplier.

@2oldcodgers The site owner cannot charge more for electricity than they paid for it. The administrative costs of anything they do should be in the rent.

Swings and roundabouts then.
Increase the rent slightly to cover any small additional management charges. 

Illegal to increase the Ground Rent other than by annual CPI for the relevant month which is what the fig is,  3 months prior to the month set for when increase comes into effect.

To be fair, I am ignorant to it too.. I have asked the question about the rate and I have received a letter saying that we are on a 2 year contract that expires October 2024. That is completely acceptable and understandable. However, I am still perplexed at the £1.9, it seems extortionate.  It is cheaper to use at night  on an economy type contract which is fine. I will come back to this later today as I have other things on but really - How can £1.9 be ok? Slight meltdown going on here! Thank you for your messages on this .. its a what to do next kind of thing 

You are lawfully entitled to have a copy of the Electricity Contract and anyone who has a sub meter should also ensure they have a copy, whenever a Contract ends. To our cost our Committee at the time didn't see fit to request copies of the water bills/electricity contract. This is where "errors" can and did happen ...With perseverance PO's can be made to adhere to the Rules.
