Scottish households have been issued a stark warning as energy bills are forecasted to jump again.
The average yearly energy bill could climb to nearly £4,400 a year from January, according to analysis from energy consultancy Auxilione, as gas prices continue to push upwards.
Previously, the experts warned that the price cap could reach £3,687 in October – close to double today’s already record levels, up from £1,971. But after Ofgem's latest update, they forecast bills could hit £4,400 in January, rather than the £3,994, previously predicted.
