Hi all. Are they going to go up and up or might they stabilise? I am loathe to leave my current tariff as it is so low it would make you sick and does not run out until July but should I be thinking about a longer term fix now?

Your thoughts, please.

    Forecasts say prices will rise 5% in 2017 and will increase over the next few years. EDF has announced that its standard dual fuel customers face a 1.2% hike from March - and others may follow suit, but that is a standard tariff. No one can predict the future?

    If it were me and you're on a low tariff, i would make the most of it for the remaining 6 months. Prices are rising, you're going to pay more, whether it's sooner or later? There will still be deals around if you look hard enough for them.
    Fred - Where's your get up and go?

    Barney - It just got up and went.
