Customers who use British Gas, Octopus Energy, E.ON Next, Ovo, Scottish Power, and many more energy providers are urged to act now to secure a saving.
Currently, only one fixed-rate deals on the market works out cheaper than the current £1,568 price cap, but with the price cap set to rise in October, some fixed-rate deals on offer will work out cheaper than the predicted £1,714 to come.

"There are a number of 12-month fixed deals available at rates cheaper than today’s firm prediction, so run a comparison to see what energy tariffs are available to you."
