Please note these are price cap levels for those on a standard tariff.
One thing you can do, is to make sure you are on the best tariff by talking to your supplier or by using a comparison website to see the current deals.
And don’t forget – give your supplier a meter reading during the first week of April to ensure you are being charged correctly.
