Today's UK energy market at a glance
Domestic energy prices in Great Britain are influenced by wholesale costs and the Ofgem price cap for standard variable tariffs (SVTs). The price cap is reviewed quarterly (January, April, July and October) and limits the unit rates and standing charges suppliers can charge typical customers on SVTs. Actual rates vary by region, meter type and payment method.
Fixed vs variable
Fixed tariffs lock in unit rates for a set term (e.g. 12 months) and may include exit fees if you leave early. Variable tariffs can move up or down and most SVTs are protected by the price cap. Choose based on your preference for price certainty versus flexibility.
Standing charges & unit rates
Your bill is made up of a daily standing charge and a unit rate per kWh. Lower unit rates can benefit higher users, while lower standing charges may suit lower usage households. Always compare both together.
Smart meters & time-of-use
With a smart meter, you may access off-peak tariffs such as Economy 7 or flexible time-of-use plans that reward shifting usage to cheaper hours. Ideal for EV charging and heat pumps.
Note: Northern Ireland operates a separate energy market and is not covered by the Ofgem price cap discussed here.

Energy comparison FAQs
What information do I need to compare tariffs?
Your postcode, fuel type (gas/electricity), payment method and either your annual usage in kWh or an estimate of your monthly spend. A recent bill normally shows your kWh.
Is switching energy supplier disruptive?
Switches are largely administrative. Your supply is continuous and delivered through the same pipes and wires. In most cases, no engineer visit is required.
How does the Ofgem price cap affect me?
If you are on a standard variable tariff, your unit rates and standing charges are capped within regional limits set by Ofgem and reviewed quarterly. Fixed tariffs are not capped, so compare carefully before locking in.
What are exit fees and can I switch early?
Some fixed deals charge an exit fee per fuel if you leave before the end date. Many suppliers waive exit fees within the last 49 days of a fixed term; check your tariff conditions.
Are green tariffs really renewable?
Green electricity tariffs are typically backed by REGO certificates or direct renewable generation. Review the supplier's fuel mix disclosure for details.
