I received an email from EON.Next on 21 February about forthcoming tariff changes. If you log in to your online account and click "Get a Quote" then "Renew", you can find out what your options are including the "do nothing" option which is to stay on Next Flex.

The V11 1 year fix is the same price as staying on their Net Flex tariff. Difference is of course if the price then increases in October. A no brainer would be to take the 1 year fix, always the option of moving suppliers as there's no exit fees should the prices fall, very doubtful that happening though.🤔

Thanks for the response , I’m not on next flex though I’m on something called safeguard tariff . Also in the last couple of months my household has went from 5 to just 1 so not using as much energy now, so really what I’m being quoted is what I would have been using with 5 adults last year it’s went right down. I am disabled and not sure if that is what the safeguard tariff is about. But I have been unable to find anything and still haven’t received anything from eon other than something at beginning of feb but that didn’t explain much.

I looked up "Safeguard tariff" and it appears to be the old name for what we now call the energy price cap. It existed for "vulnerable" customers before the energy price cap was introduced for all customers. I think you can assume that it will behave in the same way as the price cap. It also appears to be applicable to people with prepayment meters, who receive Warm Home discount.

Here is a web site which explains it, but it was published 3 years ago!
