My one year fixed dual energy deal with Ovo ends in March. I have been paying £80 a month. My renewal has just come through at £165 for a one year fixed or £175for two years. More than 100 per cent rise. Should I take the fixed deal or go variable.

    Impossible to tell - if you give us the details of the unit rates/SC's you're paying, and what you've been offered, then we may be able to offer some insight but right now, and with the fine detail of what the April increase is going to mean in real terms not yet available, it's more likely the advice to roll onto the variable right now will apply. 

    Have a browse through some of the others threads on a similar subject on the board - it might help to give some clarity and also explain why it's impossible right now to say "You should do this".
