Everyone thinks energy bills were cut — here’s the bit nobody mentions (aff)
Government energy bill savings of about £150 start in April, but rising winter Price Cap leaves UK households facing higher costs before then.
- This month, the Autumn Budget promised changes that could save households an average of £150, but the savings start in April, creating a timing mismatch with the Price Cap rise.
- Energy experts call the timing mismatch the 'winter gap' as central heating use and shorter days push bills to peak before promised savings arrive.
- Many households are switching to fixed tariffs now to avoid short-term volatility, with Utility Warehouse, energy provider trusted by over a million households, promoting fixed deals and bundles.
- To avoid short-term spikes, some households are choosing financial measures now by locking fixed deals or using Business Rewards Account offering up to 1.5% cashback.
- The Autumn Budget's schedule means households must weigh waiting for April against acting now, as fixed tariffs and bundled offers could influence who benefits from the 150 promised savings.
