Overview
- Cornwall Insight, which updated its view Friday, now puts the July–September price cap at about £1,837 for a typical dual‑fuel home, roughly 12% above April’s level.
- Cheaper fixed‑rate deals have returned, with options from Fuse, Outfox and EDF priced around £1,574–£1,690 and offering savings of roughly £200 versus July forecasts.
- British Gas offered a £1,610 fixed deal through Compare the Market, with a 23:59 Friday, April 17 deadline and £50‑per‑fuel exit fees.
- MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis urged households to leave standard price‑capped tariffs now, saying current fixes can beat today’s cap and dodge the expected summer rise.
- Ofgem cut the April cap to £1,641 after some green charges were moved off bills, and the regulator sets the final July level by May 27.
