Explained in plain English

Will my energy bills rise?

Higher oil prices can impact your household energy bills, especially if your electricity or heating relies on oil or gas. While the UK has diverse energy sources, global oil prices influence the cost of other fuels. If the cost of crude oil stays high, energy suppliers might pass these increased costs on to consumers, affecting your monthly outgoings.
