The typical gas and electricity bill will fall to an average of £1,823 a year from October after the regulator Ofgem announces its energy price cap next week, a leading forecaster has predicted.
However, the government support that was at hand last winter will not be available this year, while consumer groups warn that prices remain “dangerously high”. The cap does not apply to consumers in Northern Ireland.
We’d like to hear from people in the UK about how they are coping with their energy bills. Have you had to take action to reduce your bills? If you’re in England, Scotland or Wales, will the lower cap will make any difference to you? How are you feeling about the upcoming winter?
