Elise Melville, energy expert at Uswitch.com comments: “A summer-time fall in the price cap might sound like relief for under-pressure households – but this forecasted reduction is a drop in the ocean compared with the savings available by getting a fixed deal.
“For most households - if you haven’t switched in a year or more, you are probably on a standard tariff, and effectively throwing money out of the window.
“There are a number of fixed deals on the market cheaper than the predicted July rates. The average household on a standard tariff could save around £258 a year by switching compared with the current price cap, which also beats the latest July prediction.”*
