People are being offered a new fixed energy tariff that is cheaper than Ofgem's upcoming revised price cap. From July 1, the energy price cap will be set at an annual level of £2,074 for a typical household paying for gas and electricity by direct debit.
However, a 12-month fixed energy tariff from So Energy, costing £2,047 for households with average consumption, is being offered to a limited number of customers of Uswitch.com, the comparison and switching service – £27 cheaper than July’s price cap. Such tariffs have become scarce since the global gas crisis took hold.
Households already signed up to receive alerts for exclusive deals will be first in line before it is offered to all Uswitch customers. Eligible customers can receive a detailed forecast of their personalised usage and costs to help them understand if it is a good deal for them.
