Liz Truss has been urged to publicly correct her statements that “nobody” will pay more than £2,500 for their annual energy bill.
During a round of radio interviews this morning (Thursday, September 29), the Prime Minister repeatedly raised her recently announced energy price guarantee limiting the average bill to £2,500. The average household energy bill will rise from £1,971 to the frozen £2,500 from October 1.
However, her statements have been criticised as 'misleading' as people's household bills could surpass £2,500 a year if they use more energy. The government's plan only caps the cost per unit that households pay, with actual bills still determined by how much energy is consumed.
