Octopus Energy, Scottish Power, E.ON and more funding options available as price cap looms

British Gas, Octopus Energy, E.ON and EDF are offering a range of funding options for those who can't pay or are struggling to pay their energy bills.

Energy prices are rising as Ofgem confirmed that the new price cap will rise by 54 per cent, leaving thousands concerned about how they will make ends meet.

The average household energy bill will rise by an extra £693 a year. This means bills will rise from £1,277 to £1,971 per year. Prepayment customers will see an even bigger increase of £708 from £1,309 to £2,017.
