Hey guys

I finally made the decision to move away from Octopus Energy after about 5 years. They were good but their prices were creeping up and up. I searched for the best company with the best deal out there and Fuse Energy looked like the best choice. So far so good, the switch was done in just a couple of days and I am now paying a chunk less on their latest tariff, locked in for 13 months. Really nice to know the prices rises won't bother me now.

The website and app are really easy to use, very impressed. You also only pay for the energy you have actually used. They produce you a monthly bill and you just pay that, rather than building up tons of credit.

If you fancy joining, we can both benefit and get £50 towards our bills if you use my referral code JOSHUA27409. Simply enter it when you sign up here.

Any questions, just ask 😄

Cheers!

Hey! I switched to Fuse for my energy - it’s way cheaper, and their support team are actual humans. Sign up directly on the app or website and use my code HARRY68616 before 20 Jul and we can earn up to £100 each!

The price cap this quarter: £1,862/year for a typical direct-debit dual-fuel household (Ofgem, 1 Jul–30 Sep 2026). That's up 13% (~£221/yr) on the April cap — gas unit rates rose ~24%, electricity ~5%, driven by a 28% jump in wholesale gas over the past three months.

Fuse runs a variable tariff that tracks a few % under the cap plus lower-than-average standing charges, and fixed deals that sit below the cap. Exact rates vary by region and payment method — enter your postcode on each supplier's site for a personal quote.

This week in UK energy:

• The new July–September price cap took effect on 1 July: £1,862/year for typical use. Gas is doing most of the damage (~24% up); electricity only ~5%.
• Cornwall Insight is forecasting the October cap at roughly £1,899 — another ~£37/year rise — but that's a forecast, not confirmed. Ofgem announces the real figure by 26 August.
• Around 40% of accounts (~22 million) are on fixed tariffs and aren't affected by this rise. If you're on a Standard Variable Tariff, you're paying the cap.

Switching tips:

• Switching takes ~3 working days and you never lose supply.
• Smart meters transfer with you in most cases.
• On a fixed deal? Check your exit fee before switching (typically £50–75 per fuel).
• The cap only applies to Standard Variable Tariffs — a good fixed or below-cap variable deal can beat it.
• With another cap rise forecast for October, locking in a below-cap deal now is worth a look.

Disclosure: I'm a Fuse Energy customer and this post includes a referral code. Code WTWQYD61982 gets us both £25 per fuel (£50 for gas + electricity) if you switch. Non-referral link: fuseenergy.com

Hi everyone,
The Ofgem energy price cap officially increased by 13% on 1 July 2026. For a typical household paying by direct debit, this means average annual bills have just jumped to £1,862. 
If you are on a standard variable tariff with one of the legacy suppliers, your direct debit is likely about to increase. Specifically, electricity is now capped at an average of 26.11p per kWh and gas at 7.33p per kWh. 
I switched to Fuse Energy a while ago because they are consistently cheaper than the cap and run a very lean, app based model. Right now, they even have a 13 month fixed tariff that works out around 17.2% cheaper than the new July price cap. 
They also have a referral promotion running until 19 July where they give you guaranteed account credit for switching to them.
You get a £25 credit for switching one supply, like just your electricity.
You get a £50 credit for switching two supplies, such as electricity and gas.
You get a £75 credit for three supplies, which includes electricity, gas, and solar export.
How to claim the credit:

1. Download the Fuse Energy app or visit their website directly. You cannot sign up through a price comparison site for this offer.
2. Start a quote and enter the referral code OYVURI69346 when prompted on the sign up screen.
3. Complete the switch. They handle all the admin of leaving your old supplier automatically.
4. Your credit will be applied directly to your account once your switch completes and you pay your first full bill.
   Take a few minutes this weekend to run a quote and see how much you can save. Thanks to anyone who uses my code!

Just joined fuse energy, found them to be 16% cheaper than octopus which I thought was wild. So far they seem great. Had a few teething issues with my meter but they sorted it via agent on chat super easy.

Seem really good. What’s everyone else think who’s been there for longer?

I have a suspicion that nobody actually chooses a referral code.

People just Google one, click the first result, and carry on with their day.

To test this theory, I’m entering my code into the arena:

I recently moved into a new flat and switched to Fuse after it came out cheapest for me on Uswitch. The referral credit was a nice bonus, so if you’re signing up anyway, feel free to use it.

If someone uses the code, I’ll have proof that at least one person made it past the title and read this far.
If not, I’ll assume we’re all just shouting referral codes into the internet and hoping for the best. 😄

Fuse Referral Code: HARRISON17396

I see loads of referral posts on here, so I thought I'd do something slightly different and give an honest review from someone who actually uses the service.

I switched to Fuse around 3 months ago after comparing a few suppliers.

The good

1. The app is genuinely one of the better energy apps I've used

2. Direct Debits can be adjusted without jumping through hoops

3. Usage data is easy to understand

4. Support has been quick whenever I've needed them

5. Prices have remained competitive

The bad

1. They're not as well known as Octopus, British Gas etc

2. Some parts of the app still feel a bit basic

3. The website isn't always the easiest place to find information

Would I recommend them?

Honestly, yes.

Energy suppliers aren't exactly exciting, but they've been one of those companies that just quietly does what it's supposed to do.

No billing drama. No endless phone queues. No mysterious charges.

Which is probably the highest compliment I can give an energy supplier.

If anyone has questions about Fuse, switching process, billing, smart meters, customer service, or anything else, ask away and I'll answer as honestly as I can.

And if you decide you'd like to join, feel free to use my referral code:

TIM64158

You and I both get £25 per fuel once you've paid your first bill, so up to £50 each if you switch gas and electricity.

Even if you don't use the code, hopefully the review helps someone.

The Macro Reality (1 July 2026 Update):
The warning period is over. As of today, the Ofgem energy price cap has officially increased by 13%. For a typical household paying by direct debit, this pushes the average annual bill up to £1,862. If you are sitting on a default standard variable tariff with a legacy supplier, your unit rates have just spiked. 
Treating your personal finances like a business means you do not accept passive cost increases. You audit your fixed costs and migrate to a more efficient provider.
The Arbitrage: Fuse Energy
To protect your household budget, you need to step away from the legacy giants. I use Fuse Energy. Because they operate a lean and digital first model, they structurally undercut the major UK suppliers on both daily standing charges and unit rates.
The ROI (Guaranteed £25 to £75):
Fuse is currently running a customer acquisition campaign offering guaranteed cash for anyone switching before 19 July.
If you switch using an active referral code, you receive guaranteed account credit:
£25 for switching one supply (for example, just electricity).
£50 for switching two supplies (electricity and gas).
£75 for switching three supplies (electricity, gas, and solar export).
Execution (Takes under 3 minutes):
Financial optimisation does not require hours of admin. You can execute this switch right now from your phone to immediately counter today's price hike.

The Macro Reality (30 June 2026 Update):
We are now just hours away from Wednesday, 1 July. On that day, the Ofgem energy price cap officially surges by 13%, pushing the average annual household bill up to £1,862. If you are sitting on a default standard variable tariff with a legacy supplier, your direct debit is about to spike.

The Arbitrage: Fuse Energy
To protect your household budget, you need to migrate to a challenger supplier. I use Fuse Energy. Because they operate a lean, digital first model, they structurally undercut the Ofgem price cap on both daily standing charges and unit rates.

Fuse has just updated their customer acquisition campaign, and the current promotion runs until 19 July. They have scrapped the old random prize spin and are now offering guaranteed cash for anyone switching.

Sharing my referral code with an unbiased (early) review and recommendation.

Code - SHARAD83708

Fuse was the cheapest supplier on the comparison sites. I was skeptical of the app based support but having interacted with Fuse over the app during the switch process, two things stand out -

1. Their use of AI integration for support is brilliant. 

2. For anything that AI can't handle, the human support is prompt and sufficient.

I couldn't switch my gas tariff to Fuse initially as the app doesn't show the option for gas. That was because of an issue with address/meter number mismatches in the national database. If you hit this problem, search for your property using the meter number in the app. Meter number is on your last bill.

My referral code below (created 26/06/2026) and valid until 20/07/2026.

Please use this code and sign up to get £50 bonus. You and I both benefit from it. 

Hi everyone,
The Ofgem price cap is officially going up by 13% on 1 July 2026. This brings the average annual bill to £1,862. If you are on a standard variable tariff with a legacy supplier, your unit rates are going to increase in just a few days. 
I moved my energy over to Fuse Energy because they consistently undercut the main price cap, and their app makes managing bills incredibly straightforward.
They just launched a brand new referral programme on 25 June 2026. They have scrapped the old random turbine spin. Instead, you are now guaranteed a fixed £25 reward per supply: 
You get £25 for one supply (e.g. electricity or gas).
You get £50 for two supplies (e.g. electricity and gas). 
You get £75 for three supplies (e.g. electricity, gas, and solar export). 
How to claim the credit:

1. Download the Fuse Energy app or visit their website directly.
2. Start a quote and enter the referral code OYVURI69346 when asked. (Note that you must sign up directly and not through a price comparison website, or the code will not work). 
3. Complete the switch. They handle the transition from your old supplier automatically.
4. Your credit will be pending until you pay your first full bill, at which point it gets applied to your account. 
   It is definitely worth taking a few minutes this weekend to lock in a cheaper rate before the new cap hits on Wednesday. Thanks so much to anyone who uses my code!

Here's my fuse energy referral code BROOK77280 valid until 20th July, would be so happy if you would use it! 😊

I switched a couple of months ago, so far very happy. The switch was easy and energy cheaper than octopus. The only potential downside is paying the amount used each month instead of balancing direct debits across the year, so you will feel the payments increasing in winter.
