Gas and electricity bills will hit a record high this winter as the cost of living crisis shows no signs of slowing down. Under the current price cap the average household pays £2,500 a year, but this is set to rise astronomically.
From April next year the Government is lifting the current price cap and households on a standard use tariff will bills rise to £4,350 a year. Which is why British Gas has set aside money to help households pay their energy bill.
The fuel giant has a scheme which gives people who have energy debt up to £1,500 to help them pay their bills and get back on track, and it could be a lifeline for many.
