Protect your energy prices from rising by getting a fixed electricity and gas tariff.
With a fixed tariff, you pay a set unit price over the lifetime of your contract. So, when energy prices go up the unit price you pay doesn't change. It helps you budget better and gives you peace of mind. Today, fixed tariffs cost more, but will protect you from future rises.
A Standard (Variable) tariff means the unit cost can go up or down at any time provided they remain no higher than Ofgem's price cap. You don't get protected against what's happening in the energy market apart from the cap and you can't budget in the same way.
If you'd like to know why energy prices are going up, have a look at our FAQs about the energy market situation.

UK Fuel Mix disclosure information, published by Government Department BEIS, recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation.
The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators.
The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 32.4%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.
