Why are my bills higher?
Your energy bills have likely gone up because the UK's inflation rate, which measures how much prices are rising, increased to 2.9% in July. A big part of this jump was a 13% rise in energy costs. This means everything from heating your home to powering your devices costs more, directly impacting your household budget.
