New plans mooted by Ofgem could see the price cap on household energy bills be reviewed every three months.
The energy regulator said that it might insert two new reviews a year, one in January and another in July, which will see them revised every three months instead of six.
Ofgem claims the more frequent price cap would reflect accurate energy prices, but Uswitch, a price comparison site, has said this plan does little to solve the hard cost of living realities current being faced by many, the Manchester Evening News reports.
