Is there anything I can do?

I'm on a fix with Ecotricity that finishes in June with £150 exit fees.
I know my bills are going to increase in April but I'm struggling to figure out if there is anything I can do. 
Can anyone help?

    If you are on a fixed rate until June, why do you think your bills will go up in April.

    The April change will be to the price cap for those not on fixed rates.

    Sorry, I worded that wrong. They will go up in June once the fix ends, to the April price rises

    Maybe see if you can renew the fix with your current provider before April if the rate is still good.

    Equally the cap could go down in July.

    You wait till June (or when you can leave penalty free) and then see what's on offer.
