Utility Warehouse May fixed launch

Utility Warehouse has replaced its UW Fixed 46 and UW Fixed Saver 46 tariffs with 47-numbered versions, part of a wave of July 2025 fixed-rate launches and removals across UK suppliers.

Utility Warehouse launched two new fixed tariffs, UW Fixed Saver 47 and UW Fixed 47, and removed the 46 versions of both, according to a supplier price update log1. The change was recorded with an effective date of 14 May 20251.

The same log shows Utility Warehouse making further changes in the weeks that followed. On 16 July 2025 it launched UW Fixed Saver 53 and UW Fixed 53 and removed UW Fixed Saver 52 and UW Fixed 521. The log does not give unit rates, standing charges or contract lengths for any of these tariffs, and no exit fees or eligibility conditions are stated1.

Utility Warehouse was not alone in refreshing its fixed range that month. The same log records launches and removals from British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON Next, OVO Energy, Octopus Energy, Outfox Energy, So Energy, ScottishPower, Co-operative Energy, London Power, Fuse Energy, Ecotricity, 100Green and Sainsbury's Energy1.

The log carries a stated last update date of 1 October 2022 at the top of the page, while the entries themselves are dated July 20251. That discrepancy is not explained in the text1.

Why it matters for households

A fixed tariff sets the unit rate and standing charge for a set period, so the price a household pays per kilowatt hour does not move with the price cap or wholesale market for the length of the deal. When a supplier replaces one fixed product with another, the terms on offer change: the rate, the contract length and any exit fee can all differ between versions, even where the name is almost identical1.

For a household weighing up energy independence, the practical question is what a fixed deal locks in and for how long. A fixed rate protects against price rises during the term but also means paying above the market if prices fall. The log shows suppliers refreshing these products frequently, in some cases within days, which means the version available at the point of sign-up may be withdrawn shortly afterwards1.

Utility Warehouse sells energy alongside other services, so its tariffs are often considered as part of a wider bundle rather than on energy price alone. The log does not set out how the new 47 versions compare with the 46 versions on price, so no before-and-after comparison can be made from it1.

What happens next

No closing date, end date or replacement schedule for the 47 versions has been reported1.
