Latest energy tariffs released

Last updated: 06/06/2025

May was a pivotal month in the energy market, with Ofgem confirming that the energy price cap will fall to £1,720 from 1st July 2025, a welcome drop from the current level of £1,849. This 7% reduction reflects easing wholesale costs, but bills remain historically high and the long-term outlook is still uncertain.

Beyond the headline price cap change, May also highlighted the volatility of the UK’s energy fuel mix. Wind generation dipped significantly year-on-year, while solar output surged, driven by longer daylight hours and increased uptake of domestic solar systems. The shift underscores the UK’s growing reliance on variable renewables and imported electricity to meet demand.

With wholesale markets still sensitive to geopolitical and supply-side pressures, fixed energy tariffs remain a practical option for households looking to avoid future spikes and gain budgeting certainty heading into autumn and winter.
