The Budget is a matter of weeks away and the issue of rising energy costs is one of the main concerns to be addressed by the government on September 27.
It is understood that as part of plans to lower energy usage nationwide - and therefore lower costs - the public will be advised on specific rules for use of things like washing machines, dryers, cookers, and other household appliances, according to reports.
Homeowners will be asked to use these appliances outside of peak hours while also being asked to turn down their heating this winter in line with the Government’s response to the energy crisis.
