ENERGY bills have gone up again this year but millions could save cash now by switching providers. Ofgem’s latest price cap means the average bill for those not on a fixed deal has risen by £1,717 a year to £1,738. This cap will be in place until April and then experts predict the figure will increase again to £1,785.

The easiest way to dodge the hikes is by fixing your bills as many providers are offering tariffs which are LOWER than the price cap. The cheapest deal on the market is from Outfox the Market 12 month fixes tariff and it costs £79 less than January's price cap and £126 lower than April's predicted one.
It does have an exit fee of £50 per fuel. However, prices vary based on where you live.

That's because there are 14 different "distribution network operators" across Great Britain, each having the power to dictate your energy costs.
Certain areas also face higher costs for maintaining and upgrading the local power networks that deliver electricity and gas to households. Transportation costs also influence your regional standing charge - the daily fee you pay to stay connected to the grid.
