Explained in plain English

Could my energy bill rise?

Yes, even if you're on a fixed tariff, your bill could still increase. If wholesale gas prices soar due to shortages, suppliers might pass on some costs through other charges or seek regulatory approval for price adjustments. This could mean higher monthly payments or a larger bill when your fixed term ends.
