Low energy users will be hardest hit in April, even if the Government U-turns on its 20% rise in the Energy Price Guarantee, according to money guru Martin Lewis.
The founder of website Money Saving Expert says he is now '90% certain' that the proposed increase from £2,500 per year to £3,000 for the average household from April 1 will not happen following his campaign, which has been backed by more than 110 charities worried about the effect the price hike would have on already-struggling families in the cost of living crisis.
However published increases to the standing charge - the daily payment you make regardless of how much energy you use - and the end of the the Government's Energy Bill Support Scheme (EBSS) on April 1 will both hit low users disproportionally hard, according to Mr Lewis.
