Now’s the time to compare gas and electricity deals and switch to a cheaper energy tariff in your area.
Energy price comparison website wowcompare.co is encouraging UK households to compare new home energy deals this winter.
WOW Compare say there are deals out there that beat October’s price cap of £1,755 some deals are over £150 cheaper (saving based on a household using average monthly KWh of electricity and gas).
Nick from WOW Compare says…
“If you’re out of contract for home energy you can still switch to a cheaper deal this winter. Whether thats a cheaper fixed price or cheaper variable deal. Check out the latest energy tariffs where you live and see if you can save!

UK energy prices are currently some of the highest in the world, this is down to decades of government failure to plan for the country’s future energy needs.
UK energy prices remain among the highest globally, largely due to decades of underinvestment and unrealistic Net Zero targets. While National Grids Grid Upgrade aims to improve things, most households are still paying more than they should.
The UK could lower costs by better utilising North Sea gas and oil reserves instead of importing expensive energy. For now, comparing suppliers and switching to a cheaper energy deal is one of the easiest ways to save money.

The energy price cap, set by Ofgem, limits what energy suppliers can charge per kWh for electricity and gas, plus the daily standing charge.
The current cap is set at £1,755 for an average household with average energy use (households with high energy use will likely pay more).
