Fixed vs Variable Energy Tariffs is an important comparison for households who want to understand whether price certainty or flexibility is more suitable for their circumstances. A fixed tariff usually locks in unit rates for a set period, while a variable tariff can move up or down when market conditions and price cap levels change.
