Switch now to avoid a giant bill from npower

npower have announced they're raising prices on their already expensive standard variable tariff by an eye-watering 9.8% for dual fuel customers as of March 16.

Even worse, this rise affects millions of their most loyal customers – those who don't have the time or inclination to call their supplier for a new fixed deal every 12 months.

You may have suspected you're paying too much. You may have planned to swap suppliers – or check you're not being ripped off – but just not got around to it.

Now is the time to switch, before this price rise hits your bills.

Octopus energy promise great value forever

The big firms use "bait and switch" pricing. They snare you with a low price, then switch you up to a high one the minute your fixed deal ends. This means the longer you stay with them, the worse off you are.

Octopus Energy is different. We believe in good value for the long term, not just a fixed term. We offer fair prices for all our customers - new and old - based on the wholesale costs of the energy we supply.

And it makes a big difference. In fact, so far this year, our new customers have saved on average a whopping £140 off their annual bill compared to what they'd pay on the average variable tariff from the big suppliers.
