Energy fixes have come back to the market and although there are not many for now, more are expected to return over the next year.

On July 1, the Ofgem price cap was reintroduced and replaced the Government Energy Price Guarantee.

The Ofgem price cap sets a limit on the unit price energy companies can charge for gas and electricity, with the typical annual energy bill currently £2,074.

The reintroduction of the price cap has prompted some suppliers to bring back cheaper fixed deals - most of them for existing customers - which disappeared well over a year ago following the energy crisis.

Ovo Energy got the ball rolling earlier this year offering existing customers a fixed deal of £2,275 - this was under the Government Price Guarantee, which was £2,500 for the typical household.

At the time, those who switched to its tariff could make an average saving of £225 on their annual bill - however, it is now over £200 higher than the Ofgem price cap.

The energy regulator Ofgem has urged customers to "think before you fix" as more deals come back to the market.

In a tweet, it said: "With the lower #PriceCap figure, fixed-rate energy tariffs might appear back on the market, but check if they are right for you.

“Prices are still unpredictable & signing up for a fixed rate now might mean you miss out if prices fall."

The Mirror has highlighted some of the deals which are available on the market at the moment, as highlighted by MoneySavingExpert.com.
