I have watched martin lewis on tv saying that we could get reduced energy bills which is down to the amount we are charged to build a greeener enery system, (Ed milliband). However will this be only of benifit to thouse that are on variable tariff? I and most beople have signed up to a fixed 12 month term where we are paying this as part of our fixed energy price?

    Only around a third of households are on fixes so two thirds will benefit straight away when the cut comes in, it may apply to fixes as well, those details have not been worked out yet, otherwise those people would benefit upon renewal.
