Consumer champion Martin Lewis issued some bad news for energy customers on the lookout for a better deal. On tonight's episode of ITV's Martin Lewis Money Show he explained that energy prices were set to increase to an average of around £3,000 a year.
But he had further bad news for customers wanting to get ahead of the game and switch to a cheaper deal. When one viewer called the show asking whether it was worth switching early, Martin said there was no point.
Speaking on the show, he said: "It would be wonderful if you could but there are no fixes. There are no cheaper deals. There are no meaningfully cheaper tariffs that you can switch to. There is nothing you can lock into to prevent yourself paying more or paying more in the future.
