It was announced today that the energy price cap will rise by 54 per cent in April.
Due to an 'unprecedented' rise in wholesale gas prices, the average household's energy bills are expected to rise by £693 a year.
For many, that increase - along with rising food costs, petrol costs and mortgages - will put many in a difficult position. Some may decide to turn the heating off on a cold night, others may decide that it's too costly to cook a meal in the oven.
