Martin Lewis warning to 'check now' over energy bills 'rocketing' - despite price cap fall

Martin Lewis has told people to check their energy tariffs immediately to see if their bills have rocketed - despite the price cap falling last week. The Money saving Expert took to Twitter to urge those on fixed-rate contracts to check if their energy rates had 'rocketed'.

In his tweet, Martin explained that the new Ofgem price cap had been reintroduced on Saturday - this dropped the average annual bill to £2,074 from the previous cap of £2,500.

However, Martin explained that some people could actually be paying a lot more as those who had locked into expensive fixes last year lost their "Energy Price Guarantee' subsidy".
