    Do you mean that your fixed tariff is ending and you have been offered a new fixed tariff? The capped tariff is the SVT.

    You will need to give a bit of details like the rates you have been offered and what your usage is.

    standard variable is £943.93 per annum
    fixed is £1312.83 per annum to may 23 standing charge 31.329 pper day unit rate 10.528 p per kwh
    estimated consumption 11501kwh gas pa

    If you are just looking to fix gas and the price is 10.528p kWh for the offered fixed deal it's going to be tough to recommend taking it as it's so close to what the predicted price point for the October cap will be.

    And even now predictions for that are being raised or lowered depending on whether the quarterly reviewed price cap comes in for Jan 2023.
  • thank you for the feedback i was leaning towards this decision - look forward to other views
