Energy bills are set to soar to around £3,600 in October as the price cap is set to increase once more.
This is expected to push thousands more into fuel poverty this winter, despite cost of living payments and energy discounts being implemented by the government. By January, experts are warning bills could rise again, closer to £4,000 for the average Direct Debit energy bill.
Financial journalist Martin Lewis has warned of a 'catastrophic' winter and is urging for intervention from the UK Government. For those who are struggling to pay their bills, or are worried about the future, the first port of call should be a talk with their energy provider.
