    3–6 Month Price Outlook

    A plain-English read on where bills are heading — no jargon.

    Energy prices likely to fall over the next 3–6 months (around -9%)

    • Wholesale gas has been easing, which tends to lower the cap over time.
    • Electricity wholesale prices have softened recently.
    • If you're tied into an expensive fixed deal, it may not be worth paying an exit fee — wait it out.
