British Gas, Shell Energy, Bulb offer up to £1,500 energy bill support amid plummeting temperatures

As temperatures plummet in the lead up to Christmas, the cost of heating is having an impact on households more than ever. UK energy suppliers have now shared updated advice for struggling bill payers.

Heating homes is becoming a lot more expensive as snow and ice hit many parts of the UK. Behind the long-awaited 'white Christmas ' and much loved festive celebrations, many households are expected to struggle with rising energy costs.

Set out by energy regulator Ofgem, the price cap is set to rise to an annual level of £4,279 in the new year (January 2023). This is the average estimated cost for households on a basic supplier tariff, reports Manchester Evening News. This comes to just over £356.58, nearly £200 more than the average monthly cost this time last year.
