Wholesale Energy Prices

Anyone left Atlantic? Oh dear ....... (edit)
I've noticed that a few on here, like me, have stuck with Atlantic - but has anyone left them for higher priced fuel but the chance to cap/fix? The jitters have got the better of me. Just switched to e-on even though it will cost us £226 more annually. Hope I've done the right thing:confused:

Northern Ireland Electricity
I may have missed a trick here but as far as I know, in Northern Ireland there's only one electricity supplier. Like all the others they're announcing sharp price rises this year. Unlike the suppliers on mainland GB I do'nt think we as domestic users have any option to "lock in" to a fixed deal. Does anyone out there know…

I only have an electricity supply, not a gas and elec combination, should I also cap?
Am I doing the right thing by capping my electricity payments, as it only appears to be the combination prices that are rising sharply, or are electricity prises expected to increase as well? Also does fixed rate mean the same as capping?
