Today, September 30, is Meter Reading Day, and it will be the last day the UK public will be able to take a reading before the higher Energy Price Guarantee - also known as the energy price cap - comes into effect on Saturday, October 1.
The price cap raises the amount suppliers can charge their customers on their default tariffs, potentially raising the average home's energy bills by thousands.
The good news is you can simply make a note of your meter reading for now, but it will be essential to submit before October 14 ahead of the first increased payment.
