Millions of Brits are staring down the barrel of a huge rise in the costs of their gas and electricity. The energy price cap will rise to £3,579 from October, energy regulator Ofgem announced on Friday (August 26).
It's a huge 80% increase of the average UK household and adjusted again, with latest forecasts warning bills could surge again to around £5,400 in January and around £7,000 in April.
When the price cap last increased back in April, many experts including Martin Lewis suggested people could take meter readings the day before the new price cap comes into effect, the Mirror reports.
