From the beginning of the wholesale gas crisis to the end of the newly extended Energy Price Guarantee initiative, gas will have added £4,400 to the average household’s energy bill, according to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).
Ofgem has made a statement calling on energy suppliers to ensure non-domestic customers are being supported and not taken advantage of amid the energy crisis.
The UK Government’s Energy Price Guarantee has launched in Northern Ireland this month reducing bills by up to 20p/kWh for electricity and 4.8p/kWh for gas.
A number of the UK’s energy suppliers have penned a letter to the government expressing concerns over the new measures proposed in the Energy Prices Bill which grant ministerial powers in the energy sector.
In addition to the updates to the Energy Bill Relief Scheme and the Energy Price Guarantee in Northern Ireland, the government today (21 September) has updated the details of its £400 discount.
