On the gov website it states "Energy Price Guarantee will be extended from April 2023 until April 2024". Does that mean we could be paying this rate until then?

the forecasts seem to suggest that after seeing an increase in April (we already know that there will be an increase of 20% to the existing EPG level at that stage I think) we may - with luck - see a drop in July, although it's far too early I believe to have any certainty on that.
Of course, how this will end up affecting unit rates, standing charges etc is another question entirely.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00

Annoyingly the energy companies could 'buy forward' energy now to give a price from July onwards at the current EPG level but the rules of the price cap do not permit that.
I suspect the rules of the current EPG also mean that they can not yet offer cheap(er) 12m fixes based on these forward prices as they will then lose EPG support for the April-June period.I think....0 -

With the increase coming in April, is there any information as to what the maximum price per kWh will be?

based on below with energy cap at £2800 its 38.68 p per kw and £3545 its 55.29p per kw
WIth gov cap set at £3000 likely 44 - 46p per kw maybe?
