Energy prices will differ from supplier to supplier, as they all set their pricing based on Ofgem's energy price cap. Here are the current price caps for gas and electricity unit rates and standing charges for the period January 1st 2025, to March 31st 2025, for a customer that pays by Direct Debit, inclusive of VAT:
| Fuel Type | Daily Standing Charge | Average Price per kWh |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity | 60.97p | 24.86p |
| Gas | 31.65p | 6.34p |
The unit rates above are just a guide that represents the maximum charge an energy supplier can charge - rates vary by region, and suppliers can charge less than the price cap so it is worth comparing to see if you can save money on your bills.

Our energy experts have crafted some great tips to guarantee you get the best energy deal for you:
Ofgem’s Energy Price Cap determines how much your energy supplier will charge you for your monthly energy bills. It considers everything it needs to meet the energy suppliers' costs and to create revenue.
Here you can see how Ofgem sets the price cap and why your energy bills can change throughout the year. The breakdown shows costs in the current Ofgem tariff price cap for a dual-fuel, direct debit customer with everyday energy consumption.
Each percentage shown in the chart is used by Ofgem to set the price cap, and how different factors affect each region, payment type, and meter type. Energy suppliers can charge less than the set price cap, but never more.
Make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for. Our team at SwitchWhiz want to show you what you spend your money on, and how you can save even more with us.
As with most markets, a level of uncertainty can present itself, particularly when factors like current events or supply and demand can affect pricing.
To entice new customers to join, energy suppliers offer new deals and benefits, in line with wholesale prices.
We work with an amazing panel of trusted suppliers and list them in our engine. After you enter a few details, like your postcode and your typical energy usage information, we can tell you exactly how much you will save.
If you have any further questions about additional discounts etc, our team of energy experts will be able to help you and guide you to the best of their ability.
If you want to pay less on your energy bill, you can look to see if you are eligible for any discount schemes provided by the UK government or speak to one of our advisors who can share their wealth of knowledge about the industry.
If you are still in the middle of your contract, simple solutions like home insulation improvements could help save up to £95 per year or turning down your thermostat by a few degrees can drastically reduce your bills by 10%.
When switching to a new supplier, it is important to have proof of your address and postcode, a recent energy bill, and your bank details if you wish to pay via Direct Debit.
It usually takes up to 5 days to switch to a new energy supplier.
Like most contracts, there’s usually a cooling period at the start, should you change your mind. You can cancel within a 14-day cooling-off period.
