Households across the country could see their energy bill around £500 in January, according to predictions by experts.
Utility consultancy BFY Group said they expect the bill cap to reach £3,850 between January and April next year. The new prediction, is worth hundreds of pounds more than previous ones.
The latest forecast comes after the Kremlin further strangled the flow of gas to Europe. While the UK gets very little of its gas directly from Russia, the price paid here is determined by what happens across the continent.
