- The Latest Energy Price Cap Update
The energy price cap was cut by £1,206 (37%) on 1 July 2023, to £2,074. Household energy bills however fell by much less - only by £426 (17%). This is because consumers were paying Energy Price Guarantee rates (£2,500) rates before the cut. This price drop nevertheless marks the first cut to domestic energy bills in nearly three years, and has injected an annual £12 billion into household budgets, equivalent to 1.3% of disposable income. - Looking Ahead: Where next for energy bills?
Curious about the next energy price cap adjustment? The next energy price cap should fall further, to below £2,000, but don’t expect much more after that. The energy price cap has largely caught up with the big falls in wholesale energy markets. Unfortunately, absent competition, we need to get used to energy bills around current price levels. - The Current Energy Market Landscape: Understanding Your Options
Currently, price competition within the energy market remains subdued. Most energy suppliers are now accepting new customers onto their standard tariffs, but there is nothing to choose between them. The price of standard tariffs are virtually identical across all major energy suppliers (0.5% difference). - Should I go for a fixed energy tariff?: Weighing up the Pros and Cons
Although some energy suppliers now offer 1-year fixed price deals, we've assessed these options and have yet to see any that are worth taking. Most are more expensive than standard tariffs and all have chunky exit penalties. Remember, locking into a fixed deal at a premium price when the energy price cap is FALLING, is not a great idea.
What's Coming Up? Stay Tuned for Better Deals
There’s some light at the end of the tunnel. While we're not yet seeing ANY meaningful energy price competition, it is coming. Stay tuned and we will let you know when things kick off and there are energy tariffs worth switching to.
