Green Star Energy has this week launched the first "unlimited" gas and electricity tariff for two years, but is it worthwhile? And is it really unlimited? MoneySavingExpert.com analyses the deal.

The energy regulator has today revised typical usage figures, which are used across the industry to help people compare prices. However, the new lower figures don't mean you'll pay less.

Energy customers will be able to switch suppliers within 24 hours by 2018, under plans confirmed by the Government.

Approximately 1,000 former and existing Npower customers will have debts written off and be given free energy, after the big six energy provider has been found guilty of failing to implement Ombudsman rulings on complaints within the required 28 days.

British Gas is to cut gas prices by 5% for the second time this year – but even after that, its standard tariffs will cost on average £250/year more than the cheapest.

Ofgem is today calling for energy suppliers to scrap charges of up to £360 to install and remove prepayment meters after it found the fees are putting many people – including some of society's most vulnerable – off switching, which can save up to £300/year.

Energy firms must tell customers about cheaper tariffs available from their other brands under new rules taking effect this autumn.
