Households across Britain will be hit by a “winter like never before” with people going hungry and cold unless the Government acts swiftly, an energy chief warned on Thursday.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, founder of OVO Energy, which is the UK’s third biggest energy company with 4.5 million customers, pleaded for “very bold” action to help shield families from the “worst of the price rises”. Millions of people are set to see their energy bills sky-rocket from £1,971 to £3,549 in October, and then possibly soar even higher.
