The over-65s are being hit harder by record energy prices than younger generations because of their inefficient homes.
A report has found 62 per cent of over 65s - as many as 7.75m - live in inefficient properties (EPC ‘D’ or below), compared to 48 per cent of under 30s.
The energy inefficiency of their homes is leading over 65s to pay £611 more per year on average for their energy bills compared to under 30s, based on the Government’s current Energy Price Guarantee level of £2,500.
