A coalition of more than 140 organisations and MPs have called for a consultation on an energy social tariff as one third of British adults say they expect to struggle to afford their heating bills this winter.
Household energy bills are expected to be around 13% more expensive on average than they were last winter – which were the highest in living memory – despite the price cap falling from the current £2,074 to £1,923 from October 1 for the average dual fuel customer, an open letter from the coalition to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warns.
