Households have been left in a state of confusion after being warned that energy bills will rise once again this weekend.
Regulatory body Ofgem has confirmed that their price cap will increase in the region of 20% as of January 1 - taking it up from £3,549 per year for a typical consumer to £4,279.
However, billpayers are still covered by the Conservative government's Energy Price Guarantee, meaning that the typical bill will remain at around £2,500 per year until April.
