Simon Francis, coordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: “The April price cap will see one of the biggest changes in the make-up of energy bills in recent years.
“Budget decisions to remove costs from bills and government moves to alter how the Warm Home Discount is paid for, will mean changes across standing charges and unit costs.
“Even those on fixed tariffs will need to look carefully to check that energy firms pass on the changes and potential savings to these customers.
“Meanwhile, volatile gas prices earlier this year also make the wholesale element subject to uncertainty and may create an upward pressure on bills for those on the standard variable tariff.
“Households will need to keep a close eye on Ofgem’s announcement next week and pay careful attention to the changes in unit costs and standing charges, rather than focus on the headline ‘average energy bill’ figure.”
