Martin Lewis says there is an "85% likelihood" that annual energy bills will remain at £2,500 rather than increasing to £3,000 from April. It comes amid reports firms already expect government support to be maintained at or near the current level.
Consumer champion Lewis told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I was saying earlier in the week, reading the runes, it was a better than 50% chance that the price wouldn’t go up.”
He said some energy firms are planning to keep April’s rates at current levels, suggesting energy help will continue. “I’m hearing they have not been told that the rate is staying,” he said.
