Martin Lewis has issued guidance for prepayment meter energy customers amid Ofgem's price cap drop announcement. The regulator announced it is cutting its price cap from £3,280 to £2,074 from July 1, marking the first time consumers on default tariffs have seen their prices fall since the global gas crisis took hold more than 18 months ago.
