This April will see an unprecedented change in energy bills, so if your fix is ending, or you’re on a Price Cap tariff should you fix now? Let me take you through it… Courtesy of @itvMLshow, watch the full ‘reboot your finances for 2026’ episode on itv.com/watch/the-mart…



My open letter to @RachelReevesMP (cc @Ofcom, @SciTechgovuk) Now O2 has broken the taboo, the big risk is other firms will likely follow suit... the govt must step in to stop mobile, broadband and pay-TV firms increasing prices mid contract by MORE than they said they would when people sign up.

Word of the day is ‘beek’ (13th century): to bask in the pleasurable warmth of the sun. Also available as a noun, as in ‘I took a wonderful beek today’.

I love this so much, look at the joy on their faces. ♥️

📢 Final April Price Cap Prediction Cornwall Insight have released our final April - June 2025 price cap prediction. We are forecasting energy bills will be £1,823 a year for a typical dual fuel consumer. This would represent a 5% increase compared to the January price cap. Read our full release here: bit.ly/3CKexMT Breakdown: Standing Charge (£/day): Elec-0.53, Gas-0.29 Unit Costs (p/kWh): Elec-26.57, Gas-7.00 The increase in bills has been anticipated for some time, as a volatile international market saw prices rise, however the cap forecast has risen in recent weeks as the combination of colder weather and reduced renewables production saw gas storage levels fall across Europe, resulting in wholesale prices rising sharply. Uncertainty over the outlook for the April cap and beyond is also being compounded by a number of Ofgem consultations on its future structure. Looking ahead, the announcement of talks between Russian and American officials aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict have seen gas prices fall, and while this has come too late to affect the April cap, the effects are being seen from July 2025 onwards, with prices expected to fall slightly in the third quarter of the year, before rising again in October.
