Good morning E.ON Next Community 👋

This morning Ofgem made their latest price cap announcement and it's good news! Read on to find out everything you need to know the Ofgem 1 July energy price cap 2025 and how this will affect your E.ON Next energy bills.

It's welcome news this morning as it's been announced that the price cap is going down again by 7% this is a decrease of £129 for the average household. Even though the announcement was made this morning, the new rates won't come into effect right away. You'll see the new rates from 1 July 2025 to 30 September 2025.

What is the price cap?

The price cap sets the maximum price per unit (kWh) an energy supplier can charge for your energy, the limit also applies to standing charges. The level of the cap is based on a typical household's annual usage however, you may pay more or less depending on your own energy consumption ⚡

The government introduced the price cap in 2019 to protect consumers from paying too much for their energy. It's set by the energy regulator Ofgem & it's currently reviewed four times a year.

The current price cap (1 April 2025 - 30 June 2025) sits at £1,849 however from 1 July 2025 it will change to £1,720

How does this compare to the previous price cap?

As mentioned above the price cap (1 January 2025 - 31 March 2025) currently sits at £1,849 however from 1 July 2025 it will change to £1,720

Here's a breakdown:

Will I be affected by the price cap?

If you've got a fixed tariff with us, then it won't affect you (unless your tariff ends within the price cap period) however the price cap will change things for customers on Next Flex - our standard variable tariff and those of you on Next Pledge - our E.ON Next tracker tariff (Next Pledge prices are guaranteed to stay £50 below the price cap!).
