Can suppliers charge more than the energy price cap per kwh?

[PureBlackVoid]

I know there have been a lot of threads about energy prices, but I haven’t been able to find the answer to this specifically, in relation to price per kwh.

The way I understand it, the price cap is the max that can be charged per kwh and per day for the standing charge?

I’ve attached the cap prices I have been able to find, though these are ‘average’ price cap rates - do we have actual max rates available? My supplier’s new pricing is (a lot) higher than this.

Have I completely misunderstood?

Non fixed contract rates can only be as high as the price cap. Fixed price can be anything they want to charge.

Oh thank you, such a simple explanation.

Price cap only refers to the maximum they can charge on the standard variable rate tariffs. Fixed rates can be any amount they want to charge
