Which? comments ahead of energy price cap coming into effect on 1st July
Emily Seymour, Which? Energy Editor, said:
"Consumers will be relieved to hear that the price cap is dropping by around £122 for the typical household from 1st July.
"We'd recommend taking a meter reading as close to 30th June as possible to ensure you don't pay over the odds for any energy used after the new price cap takes effect.
"With the price cap predicted to rise again in October, many consumers will also be wondering whether to fix their energy deal. There's no 'one size fits all' approach but the first step is to compare your monthly payments on the price cap to any fixed deals to see what the best option is for you. As a rule of thumb, if you want to fix, we'd recommend looking for deals as close to the July price cap as possible, not longer than 12 months and without significant exit fees."
