IMO fixed is better. But some providers seem to have had huge problems predicting annual bills this Winter.
I moved to variable DD after Octopus insisted that I should be paying £446/month after the government grant ran out. My largest Winter bill was £416. My last bill with the government grant was £246 (before deducting the grant)

Its probably only because ice had my fix long enough. At the start it started at 80 then was at 150. I built up loads of credit.
Was only when I asked for it back did it feel like the system "reset" and a sensible figure emerged.

our DD is currently £70 and we have a buffer of just over £300 on our account.
for now i expect that buffer to rise significantly.......... but an EV will put a dent in it quite quickly.... and even if not, our use will go up a lot once we get to winter.

I just realised something when looking back at Octopus Compare data...
A year ago, I was on Agile. Since then, I've bounced between tariffs, trying to get the best deal. Turns out that I've saved a huge £8 over the year vs just staying on Agile
That's why I'm just sticking with my fix. Not worth chasing a few pounds here and there

£135 monthly leccy bill and £120 council tax on the same day, thats quite a dent in the finances
Lucky you, my council tax alone is 3x that
With very little to show for it.
120! Nice

Unfortunately £120 would be considered very cheap these days.
idea that they'd blow up their export pipeline was already perverse - no way back.
read the article - they're just auditing the leccy cables on the windfarms for fun ? the uk/european economic and domestic fuel bill woes/this-thread are all down to Ukraine,
and they just need to establish plausible deniability on any future infrastructure accidents.
the concerns about hacking the eurovision are a lot more frivolous, DDOS on twitter/facebook that would be Armageddon.

Mine is around that but band D and 25% discounted.

These comparisons don't work for me at all sadly, as I have time of use and take advantage of off-peak rates, so back-dating that against a normal tariff is hard.

I am not saying council tax even approaches value for money, but what band is your property in, that makes a big difference for some reason I have never really understood?
