Have you been advised that you were on a fixed energy tariff and turns out you were not?

    No, energy prices rose in April 2022 and October 2022.

    I understand they will rise again April 2023.
    They increased this month too, but the EPG was also increased.
    It will likely drop in price in April, but the EPG may also drop which could mean the end result is we'll pay more.
    Currently the OP is right energy prices will rise in April 2023 this is when the government subsidy only takes the notional average bill down to £3000 instead of the current £2500...in addition no council tax rebate of £150 for band D and lower and no £400 payment for all in October 2023.

    Going to be a big shock to many.
    That's what I said :)
    Prices may drop, but the discount will also drop so we will end up paying more.
