Hi I need some advice s I have no idea on any of this! I was on a variable tariff £169 monthly but panicked & changed last week to a fixed 12 month £302 per month should I have stayed on variable as this fixed is nearly double my original payment ?

I'd say stick to the fixed deal, it may work out better overall. Other than that, who knows. It's all a lottery at the end of the day.

The fixed deal gives you certainty. Prices are going up on 1 April for those on the variable tariff, and probably again in October2022. your prices at least will remain fixed for the duration.

I fixed my electricity when V11 was around (only a few weeks ago!), then came v12 which was more expensive than V11 and now i think there's v13. Its very difficult to see what the v13 tariff actually is so unless somebody actually posts it, with some indication of which energy area they're in, its next to impossible to offer any sensible comment.

Fixed tariffs do provide certainty - variable tariffs don't. The matter for all of us is whether that certainty comes at too high a price. At least Eon next are offering a fix which lots of other suppliers are not.
