Martin Lewis ’ MoneySavingExpert has urged energy prepayment customers to see if they can stockpile gas and electric credit now to beat the April price hike.

MSE explained how if you top up now, but use this energy after the price cap changes, you’ll be charged for your gas and electric at the rate that applied when you topped up.
