    “Energy prices falling”
    Last week we had our yearly statement , the price to remain on the same terms increased substantially , we obviously shopped around to get a better deal, none were better.
    I’d like to know if anyone’s household energy prices have fallen lately.

    Note this : " Energy prices fell because of Ofgem's energy price cap which came into effect from 1 January 2019, the ONS said."
    Is the price of my energy bill capped?

    Do price caps affect me?
    Price caps apply if you:

    Are on a default energy tariff (including standard variable tariffs)open key term pop-up
    Get the government's Warm Home Discountopen key term pop-up and are on a default energy tariff.
    Have a prepayment energy meteropen key term pop-up.


    Not everyone’s energy tariff is price capped. They don’t apply if:

    You are on a fixed-term energy tariff
    You actively chose to sign up to a renewable energy tariff (standard variable) which Ofgem has exempted from the cap

    That prob answers your question ? The part bolded directly above ^^
    Npower is the latest major energy provider to raise bills following Ofgem’s decision to increase its industry-wide price cap.
    The company will hike prices by 10 per cent, a move that will affect 1 million customers on Npower’s standard variable tariff.
    Prepayment meter customers will also see bills increasing, by around 9 per cent on average, with the changes set to take effect from 1 April.
    Rik Smith, energy expert at uSwitch.com, said: “It’s third time unlucky for energy customers as another of the Big Six suppliers has announced it will be pricing up to the new cap level.
    “These announcements are coming like clockwork, shattering the myth that the cap is guaranteeing a good deal for customers on standard tariffs.”
    Npower’s announcement follows similar moves by E.On and EDF since Ofgem revealed that the energy price cap is going up.
    The cap, which was introduced in January at £1,137, will rise by £117 for customers on default tariffs, including standard variable tariffs on 1 April. The cap for pre-payment meter customers will also increase, by £106 to £1,242 per year. The change will affect around 15 million households.

    Blame Ofgem for pricing the cap too high . The energy companies are there to make money and operate within the regulatory stipulations.
    You were arguing that prices are coming down?

    BANK of England chief Mark Carney has now admitted Brexit could spark a golden era of trade - just months after his "Project Fear" doom-mongering.

    The Governor previously stoked concerns over a No Deal by conjuring up an apocalyptic vision of crashing house prices, a tumbling Pound and soaring inflation rates.

    The Bank even claimed unemployment could rise by more than 1million in a worst case scenario - and that workers would quit post-Brexit in their thousands.

    But in a dramatic shift of tone, Carney now says Brexit could be a springboard to a "new global order" of free trade.

    “Brexit can lead to a new form of international cooperation and cross-border commerce built on a better balance of local and supranational authorities," he said at an event in London yesterday.

    He said it would be “the first test of a new global order and could prove the acid test of whether a way can be found to broaden the benefits of openness, while enhancing democratic accountability”.

    [Brexit] could be the first test of a new global order and could prove the acid test of whether a way can be found to broaden the benefits of openness, while enhancing democratic accountability

    Governor Mark Carney, Bank Of England
    The Governor also suggested Brexit could aid democracy by shifting from "prescriptive supranational rules" such as those set out by the EU, to "more differentiated, national approaches to achieve common outcomes".

    But he did say that the economy had not grown since the Referendum, and warned that a trade war could have a major affect on growth.

    Carney was accused three months ago of whipping up "Project Hysteria" when he said a chaotic no-deal could land the UK in a deep recession, that house prices would crash by 30 per cent and the pound would crash below the US dollar.

    And just days ago he warned about the mounting risk of a recession in the event the UK leaves the EU without a trade deal on March 29.

    But yesterday he appeared to blast the fears he has himself in part promoted, saying: “Concerns are already impairing investment, jobs and growth - creating a dynamic that could become self-fulfilling.”

    Carney, who campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU, has previously defended his stance, insisting his job was not to to offer optimism but prepare the City and Britain’s banks to weather the worst possible outcome.
