energy bills

The UK government has today (23 February) announced long-term measures aiming to help households save on their monthly energy bills.

Ofgem today confirmed that the Q2 price cap will remain significantly higher than pre-crisis levels, causing the energy industry to urge the government not to "ignore" these sky-high prices "as the new normal".

Ofgem today (23 February) confirmed the 1 April to 30 June 2024 Default Tariff Cap will be set at £1,690 - 12% lower than the current cap.

Cornwall Insight's latest price cap predictions reach their lowest in over two years, but principal consultant Dr Craig Lowrey warns the UK energy system remains on a "tightrope."

The Committee on Fuel Poverty (CPF) have admitted there are "no easy answers" to address the implications of standing charges on UK households.

National Energy Action (NEA) has revealed that 6.5 million UK households will be in fuel poverty when the price cap changes in January 2024.

Ofgem has confirmed the Default Tariff Price Cap between 1 January to 31 March 2024 will be set at £1,928 - £2,356 less than the price cap for the same period this year.

Ofgem has launched a review into standing charges, how it is applied to energy bills and what alternatives could be considered.

Former oil and gas executive, Mark McAllister, has been confirmed as the new Ofgem chair as of 6 November.

National Energy Action has called for the government to implement targeted support to stop energy debt "crushing" vulnerable households.
