Many of us will have seen a significant increase in our energy bills this month after the price of electricity soared.
Annual bills for the typical household shot up to £2,500 at the start of October, which is an average increase of around £500 per year. Your bill will depend on how much energy you use, as the cap is for unit price of energy rather than the bill as as a whole.
And it looks likely that it won't go down anytime soon, meaning many people are trying to be more savvy with their money and make it go further.
