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. |
