Families facing fuel poverty took their outrage over soaring prices to the doorstep of the energy regulator yesterday as they demanded an end to an “avoidable” crisis.
Ofgem confirmed the energy price cap would, based on an average household’s consumption, rise to £3,549 per year from October.
The cap is currently £1,971 for the average household and limits how much providers can charge customers in Scotland, England and Wales.
