Switching energy deal can save £200 as price cap falls, say experts

Households on a default dual-fuel tariff in Great Britain could cut costs by moving to a fixed deal

Experts have told households whose energy bills arepegged to the price cap not to rest on their laurels" as they could save more than 200 a year on a fixed deal.

This week, Ofgem said the price cap in Great Britain would drop by 7% from April. This usually only matters if you are on a default tariff, but this time the reduction applies to everyone because the government is removing green charges from bills.
