Ovo Energy was recently the darling of the UK domestic energy consumer for giving us the opportunity to switch to its rock bottom energy tariff - Ovo New Energy.
This tariff undercut even the fierce price cuts that British Gas made weeks before by a large margin - indeed many did take the plunge and sign up for Ovo's tariff, which fixed prices for twelve months.
Recently however, Ovo have raised the cost of the same tariff, bringing it more in line with those of the big six and those that did sign up were lucky to have signed up when they did.
This recent rise, which witnessed prices go up by around 8% could signal the beginning of a run of energy price rises from the rest of the UK's suppliers, with some commentators saying that this is now the time to move to a the lowest fixed priced tariff you can find and fix your prices for the foreseeable future.
Alex Doonan - operations manager at Seeus2save.com explains: 'Fixed rate tariffs are great for a number of reasons, they allow you to budget and also allow you peace of mind that you are not going to have to pay a big bill if the energy suppliers decide to increase their charges.
'There are a number of good options at the moment, mainly Ovo and British Gas, so if you want to reduce what you're spending and guarantee that smaller amount for months to come then now is an excellent time to do so'
Ovo blamed the increase on the price of wholesale domestic fuel which has been rising for the past three weeks and is sure other suppliers are due to follow.
