Richard Neudegg, director of regulation at Uswitch.com, comments: “A predicted 7% drop in energy prices in July is clearly good news, with the price cap looking likely to hit its lowest level in over two years.
“The future still remains uncertain, and with the price cap changing every three months – currently expected to rise in October before falling slightly in January – it’s crucial not to be complacent.
“Households who want to lock in rates for price certainty should run a comparison to see what energy tariffs are available to them.
“There are many 12-month fixed tariffs available at rates cheaper than the current price cap, and even some that are 2% below these new predicted July rates.”
