Some households in Britain are set to pay a couple more pounds per month for their energy bills due to new changes set to come into force on Sunday. The new changes will differ depending on where in the country people live and how they pay for their gas and electricity.
The hike will be worst for those households in North Wales and the Merseyside area who pay for their electricity after the fact, and not by direct debit. Their bills are set to rise by more than £5 per month between January and April.
Bills will also go down for some households. Those in the north of England will likely pay around £3.90 less per month from Sunday.
The changes are made to the amount that energy suppliers charge per unit of gas and electricity they supply. These changes come into force at the beginning of January and last until the beginning of April.
