Some consumers may have received concerning emails regarding energy price rises going into the New Year.
The regulator Ofgem has confirmed its price cap will increase by around 20 percent come January 1 - up from £3,549 a year for someone with typical use to £4,279. This could lead to confusion as UK energy bills are still discounted by the Government's Energy Price Guarantee until April 2023.
The guarantee covers the amount you pay per kilowatt, and is currently set at a rate which will see the average household pay around £2,500 a year - rising to £3,000 in April.
