Approx double to your home electric bill. But they will have had costs to install it etc.

And you get to choose how much to pay at the end of the day.

Stick your 2KW fan heater on and its 50p an hour just for that.

Fridge and water heater will be less than 50p /hour.

The site is only allowed to recover the cost of the unit at the price that they are charged so if they are charged 14p per unit, they cannot increase it to cover the standing charge, installation of metering etc.

I'm not really sure what that means but I'm pretty sure it's irrelevant in practice - can you imagine, oh yes please Mr X I'd love your last pitch on your lovely site but you cannot charge me that price for electricity. Ummm sure I'd get the pitch!

The resale of electricity and gas is subject to a maximum resale price which is set by Ofgem. Since 1 January 2003 the maximum price at which electricity and gas can be resold is the same price as the reseller was charged by the supplier. This includes the costs of any standing charges billed by the supplier.

If that were their response a report to Ofgem would soon sort them out!

Whilst I will agree with the first part, I can find no reference to latter. A site owner is quite entitled to charge for the cost of the equipment on the site and it's maintenance; a "Service Charge".
