Worth changing tarriff? Hi all, So just looking to see current energy tariffs as although I’m fixed, its up mid next year so thought I’d take a look and see what prices are...

Well, no email with Welcome pack yet but tariff has changed in my online portal so I guess it is going through :)

Congrats, will be interesting if in July–September 2025 when/if prices drop you are allowed to transfer free and they honour that conversation you had with them

Update – Tariff changed online but didn’t get the welcome pack/email – chased them the other day and they apologies and re-sent it so have it now.

Would you believe it… they have only gone and come out with a June tariff now (2yr tariff) which is slightly cheaper but only on Elec.  Elec unit price is only number that has dropped, the gas has remained identical and therefore they estimate a £4 saving per year. Shame as I was hoping the standing charge on the gas would drop a bit.

Always the way, will be interesting if they offer further reductions over the next couple of months, especially if any Gas discounts.

Nice to know they Outfox the Market via the new name emphasis’s their core business: Energy and adds some maturity to their business branding.

New Ofgem energy price cap, which takes effect on July 1, 2025, will be £1,720 per year for a typical household paying by Direct Debit, marking a 7% decrease from the current cap of £1,849.

How does this compare with your current tariff and is it time to change again

⚡ Electricity	Gas 🔥
25.73p per kWh	6.33p per kWh
51.37p/day standing charge	29.82p/day standing charge

Hi all,

Just was just checking my recent bill and noticed a cheaper tariff is available.

Current prices

Elec

Unit price: 21.94

Standing charge: 48.64

Gas

Unit price: 5.34

Standing charge: 31.42

Exit fees: £100 per fuel

New tariff:-

Elec

Unit price: 21.43

Standing charge: 45.94

Gas

Unit price: 5.17

Standing charge: 29.59

Exit Fees £125 per fuel

 

So went and changed and it seems now that the free to switch fixed tariffs with current supplier for free is no longer from 1st sept, they will charge the fee to switch to a fixed tariff with them or move elsewhere.

Bit of a shame tbh, was nice to be able to switch for to a cheaper tariff with the same provider, i understand paying for switching to a different supplier.  This tariff isn’t change isn’t a massive saving but every little helps.  This will be my last change until the 2 year is up as unless there is a massive change in the markets, i cannot see me getting my Gas & Elec for £250 cheaper elsewhere :)

This looks like outfox energy.  They were cheaper than my Fuse Energy tariff, but with refer a friend Fuse Energy was cheaper for me.

I did read on MoneySavingExperts and reading between the lines, it does seem as though Outfox used to allow customers to switch between fixed tariffs without exit fees, and this flexibility was being exploited, customers repeatedly moving to the cheapest internal fixed deals undermined margins and hedging strategies.

Such a shame that good intention has been exploited.

thanks, yes I agree. However, when I last enquired I was told by the person on chat that “you can switch as many times as you like to another fixed tariff with us” so would seem also the sales/chat people did encourage switching, probably to help the customer save money.

Good to read they are allowing after 50%, I didn’t realise that and don’t recall reading it in the info I got on chat, just that they were stopping it from 1st sept.

In the past I’ve not bothered as it would of meant saving £5 over the year so wasn’t worth it, this time I’m not saving a fortune but works out to around £30 a year in saving so over the 2 year fixed is £60 so felt was worth doing, especially as this will be my last change now, when I change next will depend on the prices.
