If you’re on a fixed tariff, your prices (unit rates and standing charges) will stay the same until your contract ends. Your total bill will still depend on how much energy you use. If you’re on a variable tariff, the April price cap change may affect your costs.

If you're on a single-fuel tariff (either gas or electricity), it might be worth considering switching to a dual-fuel tariff to get the best prices

Seems at odds with the table in this article regarding existing fixes @MSE_James

Thanks @Lorian I'll flag this up with our utilities team colleagues

Yes, and that post they did only a few days ago so.

Boohoo

Are you sure this is not about the April price cap?

If it's not is there anything Ofgem can do about this?

Article relates to Price Cap April 2026 change, there has been a banner on OFTM page for weeks stating all fixed rates would auto reduce with link to https://www.gov.uk/government/news/your-energy-bill-from-april-whats-changing

That's what I was taking from it as they will reduce unit price and I also went to the get a quote page and saw the banner.

Maybe it was "click bait" or scaremongering but it got a response.

Ok it discusses the ECO/RO changes then drifts in to price cap where it says existing fixes won't be changing. Hopefully it will be OK then.

Just received an Outfox email confirming the new rates from Apr 1st for my 2 year fixed deal ending 2027. So all seems to be OK.
