I read an article today that said people on older prepayment meters can “stockpile” energy now to beat the April price increase. If you top up now, but use this energy after the price cap changes, you’ll be charged for your gas and electric at the rate that applied when you topped up.
Unfortunately most people on prepayment won’t have the funds to do this.

not sure if this is a thing or not
So do some fact-checking before repeating.

seen a campaign on't t'internet saying to make sure you get your current meter readings declared on or before the 31st of this month so any accumulated units don't get moved over to the new higher tariffs by the energy suppliers
not sure if peoples tariffs end on that day in general or not, haven't checked mine tbh
seems to make sense, they say the websites might be quite busy on the 31st so maybe do it a day earlier and take into account the extra days usage, trying not to overestimate your extra days usage too much !
