Energy customers are being urged not to delay signing up to a fixed energy deal.
This issue is something that could happen, even before the savings from the Budget take effect, according to advice from comparison and switching service Uswitch.com.
In November’s Budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves pledged to cut average household energy bills by £150 from April by removing certain levies from domestic bills.
British Gas, E.ON Next, and Octopus Energy have since confirmed that the savings will also be applied to fixed-tariff customers.
Richard Neudegg, director of regulation at Uswitch.com, said: "British Gas, E.ON Next, and Octopus Energy deserve credit for removing all confusion and confirming that their fixed deal customers will automatically receive the Budget savings in April.
"Households can now confidently sign up with these suppliers for a fixed deal that will effectively save them money twice.
"They can secure cheaper rates now during the coldest months of winter, and they’ll see their prices drop even further in April without having to take any further action."
Mr Neudegg also encouraged households on standard tariffs to act now, adding: "If you’re on a standard tariff, don’t wait for April to save on your energy bills."
