How the price cap is affecting the energy market?
Based on Ofgem's typical domestic usage, the energy price cap level is set to £1,641 per year, taking effect from 1 April 2026. This change reflects a typical household that uses gas and electricity and pays by direct debit.
Ofgem sets the price cap to make sure prices are fair for users on default energy tariffs, and that it reflects the underlying costs and inflation of the energy market. They review and update the price cap every three months to stay aligned with market conditions. You can learn more about energy price cap costs and predictions and how it may impact your energy bills.

FAQs
Your energy services will go live between two and five working days. We’ll keep you updated on any progress during this time.
No – in a few weeks, we’ll ask you for meter readings, at which point we’ll start billing you for your energy, and your current supplier will stop billing you. So you won’t pay for the same energy twice. Your old supplier will then arrange to send you a final invoice. We recommend leaving your Direct Debit in place until that invoice has been paid.
Some suppliers may charge a cancellation fee if you're in contract or on a Fixed-term tariff. It's best to check this with your current supplier.

Smart meters are advanced devices that measure and record electricity and gas consumption in near real-time. Smart meters automatically send us your electricity and gas meter readings through secure wireless networks, so you don’t have to. This works in the same way as other wireless systems like mobile phones, but you don’t need Wi-Fi or internet access in your home for smart meters to work.
