since october, the government has limited the price that energy companies can charge for every kilowatt hour, but only if you're on a single tariff. for people on economy 7 who have two different tariffs they've left it up to companies to decide how much they charge for a day rate and a night rate. the regulator 0fgem say they are investigating whether all suppliers are advising customers about the cheapest tariffs. but they say if economy 7 customers use cheap off peak electricity, they can make substantial savings. fuel poverty campaigners want the government to do more. the costs of these tariffs are going up, and they're going up in spite of the fact that obviously we are supposed to be in a situation where prices are locked in and people can budget with confidence knowing what their energy bills are going to cost. the government say suppliers have been allowed to change economy 7 rates to balance out more expensive day rates against cheaper night rates. but that's cold comfort to those facing higher bills this winter. coletta smith, bbc news.
