Electricity supplier Click Energy has confirmed that it will increase electricity prices for customers by 9.5% from 1st April 2026.
Over 33,000 Click Energy customers will now see their bills rise at a time when there is increasing uncertainty and concern about home energy prices. See below to find out more about how this price increase will impact on bills.
What does the price increase mean for customers?
The increase will see the annual bill for both a typical ‘Bill Pay’ and ‘Pay as You Go’ customer rise by around £107 per year. The increase will mean that the annual electricity bill for a credit customer will cost £1,279 and £1,288 for a keypad customer.
The 9.5% price increase applies to the unit rate (p/kWh) with no change to the daily standing charges (p/day). If you are currently on a fixed-price tariff with Click Energy the rate you pay will not be affected – the fixed price rate will continue until the end of the contract term (Click Energy fixed price tariffs will end Sept 2026 for all customers)
The changes in rates and charges are already factored into our comparisons on Power to Switch.
What have Click Energy said about the price increase
