How often does Ofgem update it?
Ofgem updates the energy price cap quarterly, meaning changes happen every three months. This system was introduced in 2023 to offer more frequent adjustments to reflect wholesale energy costs, which have been volatile, especially with events like the Middle East war impacting BP's profits and global fuel prices.
