Ofgem’s energy price cap is rising again, by 1.2% from January 1.
Households across Britain are facing another energy bill increase this winter after the regulator raised its price cap from January.
The figures provided by Ofgem indicate what a household using gas and electricity, and paying by direct debit, can expect to pay if their energy consumption is typical. “So it’s more important than ever to stay focused on building a renewable, homegrown energy system to bring costs down and give households stability.”Mr Jarvis said he was encouraging people to “shop around” to see if they can get a better deal on their energy tariff.
Which? Energy editor Emily Seymour said: “It’s still worth shopping around for energy deals – look out for any that might be cheaper than the January price cap when it comes into effect. “As a rule of thumb, we’d recommend looking for deals cheaper than the price cap, not longer than 12 months and without significant exit fees.
People receiving pension credit qualify for the winter fuel payment worth up to £300, to help with bills.
