Saving Money on Your Energy Bills

Need advice on cutting your gas and electricity bills? Ruth Alexander and guests answer your calls and emails.

How will your gas and electricity bills be affected by the government's new deal with energy companies?

Customers are being promised a cut of around 拢50 a year on their fuel bills after the government announced a series of energy measures designed to help struggling households.

Green policy targets are being slowed and the Warm 91热爆s Discount, to help those in fuel poverty, will now be paid for by the taxpayer.

But as five of the Big Six energy companies have already put up their prices, how will you benefit? And what help is available to reduce your fuel bills? Some energy companies have already confirmed they won't pass on the cut to customers who have already fixed.

If you're looking to fix your energy bills, what are the best deals around? And if you're on a pre-paid meter, will you gain from these changes?

Whatever your energy question, our panel of experts are here to help.

Ruth Alexander will be joined by:

Joe Malinowski, from The Energy Shop; Anne Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at USwitch;

and Jamie Walters, advice centre manager, from The Centre for Sustainable Energy.
