Which? responds to the latest Cornwall Insight predictions for the April price cap

Emily Seymour, Which? Energy Editor, said:

"Millions of households across the country will be relieved to hear energy bills are still predicted to fall in April.

"If you're on a variable tariff, then any reductions to the price cap will be automatically applied in April. If you are on a fixed deal and think you might be paying more than the new rates come the spring, then it's worth checking the exit fees to see if you can leave early if prices do fall below the cost of your fixed tariff.

"In the long term, a properly targeted social tariff is desperately needed to ensure the most financially vulnerable are able to afford their energy bills."
