Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

Just had gas tracker renewal email. Standing charges 2p a day higher.

This is December 2024 tracker but I don't expire till Feb. Is it worth waiting another month before renewing?
I've had the same but I'm on tracker for gas and elec. I'm waiting as it's still 6 or so weeks away. The newer tracker rates have been a bit naff compared to the Dec 23 tariff rates and I'm torn whether it's still worth it.
 
Piped gas through Ukraine has ended at last. Less roubles going to Putin. It was a travesty for Russia to earn from this while bombing Ukranian energy industries.
Was just coming in to post about this. Not sure what this will do to gas markets, might already be priced in but might see some spikes otherwise.

Some very cold weather across Europe the next few weeks as well.
 
I've had the Tracker renewal email also, for me I think I will be taking a 12m fixed tariff rather than the Tracker December 2024 v1.

The fix option will give peace of mind and the savings on the new Tracker tariff are likely going to be marginal from my calculations but with the added risk of the max unit rate of 100p/kwh.
 
These standing charges are getting silly now. Almost £365 a year before I even use any gas or electric.
Hoping standing charges being built into unit rates actually happen as an option.

Although there's not really any options. Either go to tomato energy and pray they don't go bust to avoid the increase or suck it up.

I just don't trust them, they just give me vibes of all the other ones that went bust and the fall out from that.
Tbh if you're on SVR you have nothing to lose. The risk is for those load shifting and using cheap slots being stuck with them during the switch if they go under.

How many of yous are just fixing?
Going over figures the tracker is overall going to be worse looking at averages.

Average for October tariff since it released

I know we only have a few months on there October tariff to look at but the formula is so much worse than the dec23 one.
