Which? response to the price cap announcement

Natalie Hitchins, Head of Home Products and Services at Which?, said:
 
“Many households have seen their energy bills increase during lockdown. While this latest cut to the price cap, which will bring it to its lowest-ever level, will be a welcome relief for customers on standard or default tariffs, they are still likely to be overpaying for their energy. 
 
“Switching is the best way to save on your energy bill, so we’d urge anyone on standard or default tariffs to shop around and find a better deal – you could save hundreds of pounds a year.”
