In our last email, we said predictions point to a rise of close to £150 on standard plans from October. That wasn't quite right.
The £150 wasn't a jump in October alone. It's the difference between this winter's predicted price cap and last winter's. We've updated below to make that clearer.
_____________________________________
Due to ongoing instability in the Middle East, wholesale energy costs elevated, and that pressure is starting to filter through to household bills.
Predictions suggest rates for this October are likely to rise yet again, which could make this winter around 10% more expensive than last year – around £150 on a typical annual bill.1
There is some relief on the way: the government's new VAT cut on electricity should save the average household around £45 a year. But that's a fraction of the increase being forecast, and it does nothing for gas costs – which is where most of us feel the squeeze hardest over winter.
