Last week we launched an exclusive gas and electricity tariff with Shell Energy that undercuts the Ofgem price cap by £285 and gives you a £10 bill credit too. It's the cheapest fixed tariff around, but it ends on Friday 28 August - so don't miss your last chance to switch and save on your energy bills before the winter kicks in.
The only way to get this exclusive tariff is to switch through our energy price comparison service. It takes less than two minutes, and we'll show you all the best energy deals in your area so you can be sure you're choosing the right one for your home.
It's a good time to lock in cheap energy prices: experts are predicting that energy costs may soon rise. Half of all offshore oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been paused, as a precaution against tropical storms Laura and Marco. If costs do go up, there's a good chance you'll see your energy bills increase if you're not on a fixed rate tariff.
But if you switch to Shell Energy's new Energy September 2021 v4 plan, the cost of your energy will be fixed until the end of September 2021. You'll even get a £10 bill credit for duel fuel, or £5 for single fuel when you switch.
The savings we outline below are based on the gas and electricity usage of an average UK home, and we compare the cost to the Ofgem price cap of £1,126. To get an accurate prediction of exactly how much you can save, you need to run an energy comparison and tell us how much energy you use and where you live. That's because how much you pay for energy depends on your usage, and where in the UK you live.

Why switch to this Shell Energy tariff
You can only switch to the new Energy September 2021 v4 plan with our price comparison service, because it's an exclusive deal. To qualify for the bill credit, you need to have a valid direct debit that's still active after the second monthly statement is received. You also need to be on supply - and you can't have cancelled, or be in the process of cancelling your Shell Energy tariff.
The bill credit will be applied automatically within 90 days. At the time of writing, this was the cheapest fixed tariff in the UK.
