Octopus on how energy bill changes will impact households from this month

Octopus Energy has clarified what people can expect their energy bills to look like in the coming months with a number of changes set to come into force.

Many households have been left confused about what will happen to their gas and electricity bills from this month onwards, with the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS), which provided a £400 discount on energy bills over the course of six months, coming to an end. The Government also initially said that its Energy Price Guarantee, which capped the average household bill at £2,500 amid the cost of living crisis, would rise to £3,000 from April.

However, Octopus has provided reassurance for its customers as it explained that this planned increase has now been put back. The energy provider also explained what the changes to the Ofgem Price Cap will mean for some households, BirminghamLive reports.
