"Your unit rate is how much you are charged per unit of gas or electricity you use. These units are measured in kWh.\r\n\r\nSimilar to standing charges, a supplier can charge a maximum for each unit of gas or electricity, which varies depending on your area.\r\n\r\nIn Southend-on-Sea, as it is in the Eastern, the cap on the unit rate for electricity is 25.26p and the maximum unit rate for gas is 5.96p.\r\n\r\nCombined, this gives a maximum unit charge for gas and electricity of 106.23p.\r\n\r\nThis means that Essex is in the area ranked 2nd out of the 14 regions in terms of maximum unit prices (1st is lowest). \r\n\r\nThe capped rate is 13% lower than the average.\r\n\r\nAgain, these are based on the July 2024 price cap and will next be updated in October 2024."
