Energy regulator Ofgem has announced that the January price will be £1,738 a year for a typical household. This is an increase of £21 or 1% from the current level.
National Energy Action Chief Executive Adam Scorer says, ‘Today’s news that the price cap is rising by 1% will impact millions of vulnerable households. Bills are around 50% higher than pre-crisis levels.
‘With temperatures now plunging and far less support available many are getting deeper into debt trying to keep warm. Now we know there will be no let up into January and beyond. Targeted government support is essential to save millions from the misery and danger of a cold home.’
National Energy Action’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day (FPAD) takes place on Wednesday 27 November. There are currently 6 million UK households in fuel poverty – unable to stay warm, safe and healthy at home.
