From October 1, energy bills will soar for households across the UK as the new price cap hits £2,500 a year for the average household.
While the energy price guarantee as part of the Energy Bill Support Scheme freezes energy costs at this price, millions of households are still considered as this is higher than previous price caps and the cost of living is continuing to rise.
Every UK household will receive a discount on their electricity bill- as this is most commonly used- as part of the the scheme launched by the government.
