The Energy Price Cap

To help protect consumers, the government introduced the Energy Price Cap, the energy price cap is the maximum amount energy suppliers can charge you for each unit of energy and standing charge if you're on a standard variable tariff.

You are covered by the price cap if you pay for your electricity and gas by either:

• standard credit (payment made when you get your electricity and gas bill)
• Direct Debit
• prepayment meter
• Economy 7 (E7) meter

The price cap makes sure that prices for people on a standard variable tariff (default tariff) are fair and that they reflect the cost of energy.

Ofgem review and update the price cap level every three months, for more details visit Ofgem website.
