Wholesale electricity and gas prices peaked for the winter in February, with both around 10% higher than they were in early December. Yet those rises were yet to feed through into domestic tariffs, as the average price remained level, and the higher end tariffs dropped.

OFGEM believes there will be rises in the cost of home electricity though, and the price cap will increase by 6.4% in April to reflect this.

There’s been a very slight rise in the average cost of public charging in February, but only by 1p. At the low end, prices remain the same, while at the top of the market the higher cost has dropped. But these higher charges can often be bundled in with other payments such as parking, so tend to fluctuate.
