Typical Energy Bills Rise Again as the Winter Cap Takes Effect
Ofgem’s price cap for October to December raises a typical dual-fuel direct-debit bill from £1,663 to £1,723 a year, £5 a month. The regulator blames higher wholesale gas prices linked to conflict in the Middle East. Gas bills rise, while homes without gas see smaller change after a VAT cut on electricity. Fixed deals sit outside the cap. Suppliers must help anyone who cannot pay.
