Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yes, but the price cap in 2021 was set with a scheme that used the last 6 months of wholesale prices to set the cap, and now the scheme uses the last 3 months. So back then, then last 6 months had been low prices (2020 was especially low). Today the last 3 months have been dropping from higher prices.
This is why, right now, the best deals are on tariffs which are based on the wholesale price today. Day trackers or agile. However, if you're worried about the wholesale price going up over winter you may want to consider locking in a price now. Personally, I'm not expecting massive fluctuations as Europe is much better prepared this winter than last.
