    Analysts Cornwall Insight are expecting the annual price cap to drop to £1,860.66 for the average household from October – a fall of just over £200. However, they expect the cap to rise again slightly in the first quarter of 2024,

    Maybe a good time to switch to a fixed rate tariff to cover the winter months and expected price increases

    Interesting.  I’m still expecting to save considerably on the tracker tariff, but will be keeping a close eye on it

    It is a tricky decision and will be interesting as to what Octopus energy offer after the announcement ?

    hi,

     

    Sorry i missed the msg in March :(  Gas price went up when my fix ran out, I’ve now fixed till June 2024 so will see then how things are.

    My exit fees have gone up so i doubt it worth me paying to get out of my existing deal so will have to see what things are line in June 2024 and go from there..

    That is unlucky in that you will miss the October expected price cap rate reduction.

    hope you have a few spare  jumpers over the Winter to keep you warm

    From what i heard, the rate will come down a bit in Oct but not a huge amount, certainly not enough to warranty me paying my total exit fees of £150.  My existing supplier is slightly under the price cap now from what I’ve ready, about 1% under so I’m already saving a little in comparison so overall, I think it was a good choice to fix for 1 year but time will tell when the new figures come out in October..

    I did read this yesterday …

    “Ofgem tweeted today: “Fixed-rate energy tariffs have seen a return to the market but check if they are right for you. Prices are still unpredictable and signing up for a fixed rate now might mean you miss out if prices fall in the future.”

    It is like a gambling, risk vs reward
