You can't get a cheaper fixed deal than the current price cap. All you can do is get a fixed deal that beats the predicted price caps for October 2022 and Jan 2023

Current predictions MSE backed Cornwall Insights figures.
 
Prediction Oct 2022 gas 14p kwh elec 44p kWh

Prediction Jan 2023 gas 15p kWh elec 45p kWh

Have a read here there is a deal mentioned with EDF with £150 cashback

They are not unless they have an EV and now most of those tariffs are not currently accepting new customers.

They still aren't beating current prices sadly and a lot of them have dried up.

You could try contacting EDF if you are a long time customer asking them what they can offer you

If you have an online account with EDF, log in and click 'change tariff' to see what offers they might have for you as an existing customer. Anything will be a lot more than the tariff you are on at present, but of-course that will increase sharply in October.

This sort of language sounds like we may be getting into scam territory to me. Be careful.

The closest to what you describe that has been happening is that some companies were offering fixed tariffs to existing customers. Describing them as 'cheap' would be a stretch but some were likely better than the price cap rise coming in October.

The options open to you as others have mentioned above.

That is correct, the current SVT will be the cheapest right now. You can only try to reduce the upcoming increase to the SVT in October. Currently the predicted increase is 65% on top of what you are paying now for "the average customer". If you would like for somebody to calculate you potential cost you need to give us your annual usage for gas and eelctricity.

Read the following article

There is a fixed tariff from EDF that should eb available to you, but it is still 55% on top what you are paying now.  

Also you will start paying the higher cost immediately and not only in October.

There have been new higher predictions for the new cap every few weeks, and each time advisable tariffs have been withdrawn to be replaced with more expensive ones.
