As the cost of living crisis hits thousands of households across the UK harder than ever, winter 2022 is set to be one of the coldest and hardest yet.
Ofgem confirmed its price cap will rise to £3,549 a year on October 1 for those on default tariffs paying by direct debit. Leicestershire Live reports that a rise of 80 per cent will be seen in energy bills, increasing £1,578 in total.
The price cap rise will be capped at £2,500 on average, as promised by new Prime Minister Liz Truss - however, this is still a huge rise for many Brits. It is more vital than ever for households to keep their spendings low, and some of that can come from saving on energy bills.
