    What is the point of this thread? The title is completely misleading. Energy prices are not going to fall, they are just going to go up less, or, at best, stay roughly the same, depending on the supplier.....

    Some have already gone up, therefore they will fall IF this happens.

    Somewhat predictable, pedantic and naive answer.

    Most sensible people know we are talking within the realms of the current wave of rises, relative to bills a few weeks ago....

    What's the point then? That bills aren't going down? Well, for the vast majority of consumers that are still on standard tariff, they will. The price paid in January will be less than that in December.

    Astounding. Promoting an argument that bills are falling, relatively.

    Well, as long as you feel happy that consumers will still be paying on average,'on standard tariffs', £100 - £150 more in January, than they were last November....

    Your argument must be music to the Ceo Of each and every Gas and Electricity supplier.

    They are falling, relative to the previous month's prices. Of course, if you look at it for a time frame, they are rising, and dramatically so.

    When did I say I was happy that consumers will be paying more? Please don't attribute emotional garbage to me that I haven't written.

    You can call me pedantic, but ultimately you have made factual inaccuracies during this thread, and not me.
