Just coming to the end of a fixed, and looks like prices have gone silly.

I am currently on c£750 a year, and looking at another fixed being c£1100. I could move on to a variable which would be still be more than i am paying now, just not as much.

The question is where are fuel costs going in the short to medium term. I note petrol is up about 30% in a year and still rising.
Is a variable actually going to cost me more in the near future, and getting the fixed is actually more sensible?

You mean cap lifting and highest energy bills in a decade? That bit?

That's the one.

If you think that means they are going to come down then you might want to rethink.

We are a net importer for electricity and electricity derivitived at peak times and of gas generally.

We are not in a great position.

But it's ok. The government's got our back.....

I don't see them coming down, just whether they're going up a lot more?

They have been sat at or around the ofcom.cap till now.

Ofcom lifted their cap.

It won't belong before energy is costing the new cap

Or at least that's how it's been in the past.
