Should I fix my energy or stay on the price cap?
It depends on how much you value certainty and whether a fix beats the cap for your usage. Ofgem said fixes were available at £100 or more below the October cap. Check exit fees and compare unit rates, not annual estimates.
Evidence
Ofgem also notes that prepayment customers pay the lowest cap rates — about £45 less than Direct Debit on average. This is general information, not financial advice.
