Energy Price Guarantee, but...
Energy Price Guarantee – but the more you use, the more you’ll pay
The new Energy Price Guarantee will come into effect from 1 October 2022.
It means that typical household energy bills will be around £2,500 a year. This new government intervention means bills will be about £1,000 less than previously predicted. But it is still nearly double that of 12 months ago (£1,277). It’s important to remember that the £2,500 is for typical users – but if you use more energy, you will pay more.
It is the unit rate of energy and standing charge that is capped – not the overall bill.
The Energy Bills Support Scheme also starts in October with a £400 discount for domestic electricity users – this will be paid automatically in 6 monthly instalments. This will bring a typical bill to about £2,100.If you’re worried about your energy bill this winter – please don’t worry alone.
