British gas, eon, ovo, octopus customers urged to close accounts for free £235

IT MARKS SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS AGAINST BOTH THE CURRENT AND JULY PRICE CAP. 13:34, 02 Jun 2025 EDF has launched the CHEAPEST energy deal among "large" suppliers - as it urges British

Gas, EON Next, Ovo and Octopus customers to act. It marks significant savings against both the current and July price cap. EDF’s Simply Fixed Direct Jun26v10 12-month tariff, priced at

£1,614 for an average dual fuel customer paying by direct debit, is £235 cheaper than the current price cap (£1,849), and £106 cheaper than the July price cap (£1,720). The tariff is

available to new and existing customers. Customers can also benefit from no exit fees when signing up directly through EDF. READ MORE SMART MOTORWAYS COULD BE SCRAPPED FROM ENGLAND ENTIRELY

"At EDF we’re always looking for ways to help customers save cash and carbon which means keeping our prices as low as possible. With current wholesale costs decreasing, this deal means

customers can lock-in a price now that is cheaper than both the current and upcoming price cap, which falls next month,” said Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF. Article continues below

Commenting on recent wholesale cost changes, he continued: “The market remains volatile. Our prediction service currently forecasts that the price cap will rise again in October, with winter

prices increasing a further £37 in the past week. "Predictions for January and April have also increased by a similar amount, making now a crucial time to lock in lower prices.” The

deal could be removed at any time due to volatility in global wholesale prices. Existing customers can sign up to the new tariffs in MyAccount or in the EDF app with new customers able to

join online. Article continues below EDF says customers can save cash on their bills this month with the return of its ‘Sunday Saver’ challenge, too. ‘Sunday Saver’ encourages customers to

shift some of their electricity use away from weekday peak hours (4pm – 7pm) to earn up to 16 free hours of electricity the following Sunday. And EDF has credited £2million onto its

customers’ bills via the scheme so far.
