Energy bills regulated by the Ofgem price cap could rise from the current £1,971 a year to £3,359 in October and there is a small but growing campaign for people to refuse to pay their energy bills as a form of protest. A group called Don't Pay UK want one million households to go on a form of energy bill strike if there is no more Government help with bills by October 1.
