    Our Methodology

    Data Sources

    We aggregate pricing data from multiple authoritative sources to ensure accuracy and completeness.

    • Ofgem published price cap announcements and quarterly reviews
    • Direct tariff data from each energy supplier's public rate cards
    • Wholesale market data from ICE Futures Europe and NBP indices
    • European gas storage reports from Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE)
    • Government publications including DESNZ energy statistics

    Verification Process

    Every data point undergoes a multi-step verification process before publication.

    • Cross-referencing supplier tariffs against Ofgem's published cap levels
    • Automated anomaly detection flags unusual price movements for manual review
    • Standing charges and unit rates verified against supplier confirmation emails
    • Community reporting — users can flag discrepancies by contacting us
    • Monthly audits comparing our data against Citizens Advice price comparisons

    Update Frequency

    We maintain strict update schedules to keep information current and reliable.

    • Provider tariffs: reviewed and updated within 48 hours of any announced change
    • Global commodity prices: refreshed daily at 8:00 AM UTC via automated feeds
    • News articles: sourced and published on a daily basis
    • Price predictions: revised quarterly or when significant market shifts occur
    • Price cap data: updated immediately following each Ofgem announcement

    Transparency & Limitations

    We believe in being upfront about what our data can and cannot tell you.

    • Annual cost estimates assume Ofgem's Typical Domestic Consumption Values (TDCV)
    • Actual bills vary based on your location, usage patterns, and payment method
    • We do not receive commissions from any energy supplier — we are fully independent
    • Some blog posts contain Amazon affiliate links and ads; we may earn a commission if you make a purchase
    • Predictions are informed estimates, not guarantees — always check current rates
    • Regional pricing variations exist; our figures represent national averages unless stated

    Important Disclaimer

    Power Guardian UK provides information for guidance purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, we recommend verifying current tariff details directly with your chosen supplier before switching. Energy prices and tariff availability change frequently.
