Energy bills likely to fall in July under Ofgem’s new price cap

Those on prepayment meters, who tend to top up meters during the colder, darker months will see less immediate impact if there is a summer drop in prices, following the previous fall in April.

The vast majority of households pay by direct debit, and their payments are smoothed out over the year. They can expect more information from their supplier in the coming days about any price changes.

Suppliers will judge the level of direct debit on previous, and future predicted, usage. Customers can challenge any, or no, change by talking initially to their energy provider.
