Households face £209 energy bill rise from July
British households will see their annual energy costs increase significantly this summer, impacting many budgets. Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight forecasts the Ofgem price cap will jump by £209, taking a typical bill to £1,850 from July. This represents a nearly 13% rise from the current £1,641 cap, mainly due to rising wholesale energy prices.
