How this site works
- Rule 01
Every figure is sourced
Prices, grants and rates cite primary sources: gov.uk, Ofgem, suppliers' and manufacturers' own pages. Each article ends with a numbered source list.
- Rule 02
Every figure is dated
Energy prices move quarterly and tariffs move overnight. Rates are date-stamped in the text and each guide carries a last-reviewed date.
- Rule 03
gov.uk decides eligibility
For grants and regulations we describe the scheme and link the official page. The government's checker is the authority, not us. More in about Offpeak.
