Quick summary: Next Pledge guarantees energy prices stay below the Ofgem price cap. Save up to £100, based on average annual energy use.
We want to help you take back control of your energy bills by offering a £100 average saving below the new energy price cap (starting 1 April 2026) only with our Next Pledge tariff.✱
On 25 February, Ofgem announced the new price cap would be £1,641 for a typical household (using electricity and gas and paying by Direct Debit) between 1 April and 30 June 2026.
Next Pledge is our 12-month fixed term tracker tariff with prices that automatically adjust each quarter to remain below the price cap.✱ This is to help give you peace of mind when times feel uncertain.
The price: The tariff will be priced at £1,541 for average annual energy use. After this, you’ll see the rate change in line with the new price cap.
Your saving: Your £100 saving is applied as a reduction on unit rates split across both electricity and gas (£50 saving per fuel) based on the Ofgem average dual fuel customer. If you use less than this, you'll see a lower saving amount.✱
Exit fees: The good news is, we don’t place exit fees on Next Pledge. However, there is a £25 exit fee (per fuel) if you switch suppliers.
Other details: You’ll need a smart meter and Direct Debit payment in place where possible.

If you switch to Next Pledge, you won't need to time the market. This 12-month tracker tariff moves with the price cap – it’s designed to be flexible. If the price cap falls, your energy price falls too, hopefully bringing you some peace of mind.
We are continuously reviewing our tariffs in response to wholesale market conditions. Because the energy market remains dynamic, the current Next Pledge tariff and its boosted average £100 saving are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time.
Of course, you should always do your research and weigh up your options before making any decision. Plus keep an eye on our price cap predictions for the latest figures (updated weekly).
Yes, you can switch, which is why Next Pledge could be a good option. If you decide to switch suppliers, there’s an exit fee of £25 per fuel (£50 for dual fuel customers).
We’ve kept this fee as fair as possible, while giving you the freedom to move if circumstances change.
We’ve put together a useful table comparing the price cap with our Next Pledge 12-month tariff.
