There are now six fixed energy deals that offer households savings of £100 or more per year versus the 1st October price cap, according to Uswitch.com, the comparison and switching service. Elise Melville, energy expert at Uswitch.com, said: “Households bracing themselves for higher energy prices from October will be relieved to see new competitive deals returning to market again.

“This latest offer from OVO Energy provides considerable savings compared with next month’s price cap, firing it to the top of the table of leading deals from the big six suppliers. At £1,567 for the average household, this is a deal worth considering for anyone looking to lock in lower rates for 12 months and avoid bill uncertainty this winter.

“With future price cap rates uncertain, now is a good time to consider locking in pre-price cap energy prices ahead of the winter.”

Energy customers can run an energy comparison at Uswitch.com to receive a detailed forecast of their personal usage and costs to help them understand if the deal is right for them.
