Millions of UK households will see their gas and electricity bills jump by more than 50 per cent in April after energy regulator Ofgem announced a record-breaking increase to its price cap.
The cap, which sets a maximum amount suppliers can charge 22 million retail customers, will rise from £1,277 to £1,971 for a household on average usage. It means a £693 per year increase for the average customer.
