As suspected, the government are going to step in with support so will probably stick with SVT for now as otherwise paying over the odds until October on a higher fixed tariff.

Some many times I have thought in recent days should I fix my electricity or not. However today I have taken the plunge and fixed with BG for the fix until July 31 2023. For me it's  the most sensible thing to do. 

Are you going to review today after the government's announcement on help with energy bills?

You do have 14 days to change your mind.

Appears BG have pulled this tariff as of today- now offering v2

Yes, saw that. It is actually cheaper than v.1. Some positive news at least with government backed support for winter.

That’s interesting the cost worked out more expensive for me than v1

Based on todays events I have cancelled the fix. I do not qualify for the £650 payment but will get the £400 and the extra WFA payment of £300 so should be able to weather the storm.
