Exact amount it will cost to boil the kettle from October 1 as energy prices increase again

From October 1 energy prices will increase yet again. The energy price cap will increase to a whopping £2,500 per unit of energy, so Brits are looking for any way possible to keep bills low.

With that in mind, you might have already started asking yourself how much it costs to boil a kettle. Although it may seem trivial cost in the grand scheme of things, UK households drinks an estimated 165 million cups of tea each day, so it's no surprise we're looking at where savings can be made before the new energy price cap hits on October 1.
