Household energy bills could soon top £3,600 a year - but only two-thirds of that pays for gas and electricity as the rest goes on things like tax and the smart meter rollout.
The average energy bill could soar by £1,645 within five months to hit £3,616, power experts at Cornwall Insight said today.
Cornwall Insight said the energy bill price cap, set by regulator Ofgem, would hit that level in January 2023.
