The nominal TDCV saving of ~2.5% - 5% has already been seen by customers, but if we have a cold winter (as some forecasters are predicting) then bills will rise further.

Market Insights

Most customers worse off due to Jan 2024 Energy Price Cap

OFGEM have released their updated Energy Price Cap figures for Q1-24, and our modelling shows this will make most customers worse off compared to Q1-23.

Analysis from the BFY Group team shows:

  • Low consuming customers are likely to be ~27% worse off
  • Medium consuming customers are likely to be ~6% worse off
  • High consuming customers are likely to be ~5% worse off

OFGEM have reduced their estimated annual consumption (TDCV’s) - but this won’t result in a further saving for customers, as this is an updated reflection of historic consumption.
