How is Ofgem's price cap factored in to my results?

If you’re on a standard or default tariff, the price cap - set by energy regulator Ofgem - places a limit on the amount your provider can charge for each unit of energy. For someone with typical use, the cap is currently set at £1,277/year. Yet this isn't the maximum you'll pay - use more and you’ll pay more, use less and you’ll pay less.

Ofgem also revise the level of the cap twice a year with changes coming in from April and October, based on suppliers' costs. 

To show the amount you could save by switching, Cheap Energy Club uses the most up-to-date rates of your tariff, and bases your savings on the rates staying the same for the next year.
