If you look at your most recent energy bill, it should provide details of your current tariff, together with the cost per kWh. If you don’t have a copy of your bill to hand, your energy supplier should be able to help you out. You can phone or email them or, in some cases, there might be a live chat option.
To find out who supplies your electricity, head to the website for the Energy Networks Association, which provides a useful postcode search tool.
To find out who supplies your gas, search online for the Meter Point Administration, which offers a free search tool. Or if you prefer, you can telephone 0870 608 1524. Calls are charged at 7p per minute, plus your phone provider’s access charges. The service is also able to provide you with your MPRN, or Meter Point Reference Number, which enables your energy supplier to locate the meter.
Your tariff won’t be capped if you’re signed up to a fixed-term energy tariff, or if you’ve made the choice to sign up to a standard variable renewable energy tariff. But if you’re approaching the end of a fixed-term contract, now is a good time to start thinking about your options and possibly switching to a tariff that is price capped.
