The best energy deals could save you up to £380 pounds every year. However, the best energy deal for one household won't be the same for another.
That's because energy prices differ depending on where in the UK you live and how complicated it is to supply your area. Your bills are also affected by how much gas and electricity you use.
The fastest way to find the best energy deal for your home is to run an energy comparison.
This will show you all the best tariffs available in your area, with an estimate of how much each would cost you every year if you were to switch - and how much you would save, too.
However, it's still possible to get an idea of the best energy deals across the UK, on average, using a typical household’s annual fuel consumption. And that's exactly what we've done in this guide. We've researched the best tariffs on average across the UK this month, highlighting the cheapest energy deals below, and the best green energy deals as well.
If you see a plan you like, you can either go directly to the energy supplier for a personalised quote, or you can run an energy comparison to see how much you would save by switching to that tariff, and how it compares with the other tariffs available in your area. That way you can be sure you're choosing the best energy deal possible.
Bear in mind that any prices you're quoted will be exactly the same, whether you go directly through the supplier or through a price comparison website. Also, if you decide to switch, most suppliers and comparison sites will be happy to handle the switching process for you, for free, if you choose.

The best energy deals where you live
To find the average best energy deals this month in each of the UK’s 14 energy distribution regions, we calculated all prices below according to a typical household’s annual fuel consumption: 12,000 kWh of gas and 2,900 kWh of electricity.
We then compared each price to the Ofgem energy price cap, which is currently £1,127 per year, to illustrate the savings a typical household would make by switching to one of these cheap energy deals. (It's worth noting that the price cap has just been revised, and from October 1 2020 it will fall to £1,042.) In addition, we’ve also considered whether each supplier below offers any incentives for you to join them, or if they penalise you for leaving your contract with early exit fees.
Don't forget that you could save more or less than the amounts shown below, depending on the amount of energy your household uses. To get a personalised quote for the exact savings your home could make, you'll need to run an energy price comparison.

How to find the cheapest energy deals
Keeping track of the best energy deal can be difficult. With new deals and new companies appearing all the time, it really does pay to do your research and check for cheap energy deals regularly.
Between January and May of last year, almost 2.5 million electricity customers switched supplier because they found a better deal elsewhere. The best way to know if there’s a better deal on the market for you is to run an energy comparison on an impartial price comparison website.
However, please be aware that most energy comparison sites will automatically show you the best deals they can switch you to. In order to see all deals (and often the very cheapest), you'll need to change the results filter to include plans that require switching directly through the supplier.
