Probably a safe bet. In the current climate they are likely to go only one way sadly.
Uncertain times again and don't know if it's relevant but just seen a post saying all Asda fuel pumps are shut so let's hope it's something else rather than to do with shortages.

Is that the V11 one year deal and did you not consider the V18 two year deal? 1 year and yeah I did consider 2 year as obviously the best we can hope for is 6 months of savings. But equally in a years time things could be different. hence "gamble"

Cheers Batch. I'm torn between the 1&2 year as there is no fee to leave early but the downside is that it's more expensive.

With this new government 'price cap' system effectively creating a series of 6-month fixed deals, reviewed every April and October, I'd be leaning towards 2 years. That's the slightly cheaper one, right?

As from April the variable tariff is slightly cheaper than the 1 year deal but its certain to go up again October irrespective of the war in Ukraine. The 2 year deal is a little more expensive than the 1 year deal but I guess you have reassurance that your safe for a couple of years of anymore increases.

I got offered a fixed rate by my supplier (EON Next) which matched the rate that my flexible deal will be going up to in April - so same price as I will be paying in April anyway.. no brainer. 12 months same price, or £8 per month more for a 2 year - both no fee to get out of.
I signed up for the 2 year as I think prices are bound to go up later this year, even if the Ukraine issue is resolved quickly. IMO it's only a matter of time for Putin to turn off the tap as reaction to sanctions.

Is that the Next 2 year V18 renewal deal?

I'm with bulb and the advice from Martin Lewis is still to stay put if you're in the same position as me at the current time.

I feel that same about Octopus, I can’t help but think whoever you’re with it is going to get painful. The saving grace is spring is around the corner and the winter in the certainly has been mild.

My fixed tariff runs out in June Got a proposed new tariff but only fixed to Jan 2023, seeing as it's higher than the price cap for Apr to Sep '22 I think we'll let our June tariff run it's course then roll onto standard tariff. Will revisit this in the Summer before the price cap increase is announced around August time.
