Utility Warehouse has introduced a new Tracker Tariff designed for customers who want something more flexible than a fixed deal, but with more protection than a standard variable tariff.
It’s aimed at people who are unsure about locking into a fixed rate, but still want reassurance that they’re not overpaying when energy prices move. The idea is simple: the tariff tracks the market, yet still stays below the Ofgem Energy Price Cap.
A Middle Ground for Energy Customers
For many households, choosing an energy tariff can feel like a compromise. Fixed tariffs offer stability, but some customers prefer the flexibility of a variable plan. Utility Warehouse’s new Tracker Tariff is positioned right between those two options.
If prices fall, customers can benefit. If prices rise, they still have the comfort of knowing their rate remains below the cap. That makes it a useful option for people who want a balance of value and flexibility.
How the Tracker Tariff Works
The new tariff is available in three versions, depending on how many services a customer takes with Utility Warehouse:
- Tracker Start 1 for customers with 1 service, offering £20* below the July Price Cap.
- Tracker Plus 1 for customers with 2 services, offering £50* below the July Price Cap.
- Tracker Saver 1 for customers with 3 or more services, offering £80* below the July Price Cap.
*Based on an average household.
Like other UW offers, the savings get better when customers bundle more services together.
What Customers Should Know
The Tracker Tariff comes with a 12-month contract term, and rates are updated automatically each quarter in line with the Energy Price Cap. There is also an exit fee if the customer leaves early.
That means it is not the most flexible option on the market, but it does offer a strong mix of predictability and market-linked pricing.
Who It Could Suit
This tariff may appeal to customers who:
- are not ready to commit to a fully fixed deal,
- want protection from rising prices,
- like the idea of savings moving with the market,
- or already use several Utility Warehouse services and want to maximise their discount.
It also gives existing UW customers a new reason to review their current energy setup, especially if they’ve been sitting on the fence about switching or bundling more services.
Why It Matters
For customers comparing energy deals, the Tracker Tariff creates a new option worth considering. It could be especially attractive in a period where many households are watching bills closely and want some certainty without losing flexibility.
For Utility Warehouse, it strengthens the message that there is now a tariff for different types of customer, whether they want fixed prices, standard variable flexibility, or something in between.
