Have E.ON Next prices risen in 2024?

To date in 2024, E.ON Next's energy prices have risen once in line with the energy price cap.

Like most energy suppliers in the UK, E.ON Next's energy prices are subject to Ofgem's energy price cap. The cap sets the maximum price suppliers can charge for average usage on their standard variable tariffs. These are typically the most expensive type of energy plan.

Energy wholesale prices increased a great deal from the autumn of 2021 due to a combination of factors, such as supply and generation issues. Energy suppliers were having to pay much more for energy than previously, so the energy price cap level (which caps the unit rates customers pay) eventually reached £3,549 - and because most customers by then had rolled off fixed deals without having anything to switch to other than the standard tariff, this would have affected over 25 million households.

The government therefore introduced the Energy Price Guarantee, which capped prices at the equivalent of £2,500 for an average use household. When the price cap was set at £2,074, though, it began setting the unit rates of standard variable tariffs again. After dropping to £1,834, it is currently set at £1,928 until 31 March 2024.

The table below shows how the price cap and Energy Price Guarantee have defined E.ON Next's standard variable tariff prices over the years.

If you have a fixed energy deal from E.ON Next or any other energy supplier, the price you pay per unit of energy will remain fixed until the plan ends. Once it ends your supplier will automatically place you onto its standard variable tariff if you don't (or can't) switch to another fixed deal.

Can I do anything about the E.ON Next price rises?

All customers on a standard variable tariff from E.ON Next are affected by price rises.

If you're on a fixed plan from E.ON, your rates will stay the same for the remainder of the contract. But remember that you'll automatically be rolled onto a standard variable tariff when your fixed deal ends, which will mean an increase to your energy bills.
