FINAL JULY ENERGY PRICE CAP PREDICTION (feel free to share) The assessment period for the July price cap ended yesterday. Here's @CornwallInsight's final prediction - a drop of 18% (so every £100 cost now will be £82 from July). I can't see it being more than a couple of percent out compared to Thur's announcement. The table shows the rates for someone on typical direct debit bills - currently £2,500/yr pro-rata under the Energy Price Guarantee. When you're looking at the Oct and Jan forecasts the further out you go the more it is crystal ball-gazing. If they are right though it means rates for the winter coming will be lower than for the winter gone. However when you factor in there's no longer the £66/mth support, it means lower users will still in practice pay more than last winter, higher users less. And of course prices are far in excess of what they were before the 'energy crisis'.
