What's a fixed tariff?
A fixed-rate energy tariff means you pay a set price per unit of energy for a specific period, usually 12 or 24 months. This protects you from price increases, but you won't benefit if prices fall. The story highlights how some fixed deals are currently cheaper than the energy price cap.
