Dan Tremain commenting on…
The energy price cap — October 2024
“Unfortunately, the October energy price cap will see energy bills rise by around 10% for an average household paying by Direct Debit. But remember, the cap applies to the amount energy suppliers charge for units of gas and electricity. This means, the more energy you use, the more you’ll pay. If you're on a standard variable tariff, then this could be a great time to compare energy deals and see if you can save money over the winter.”
The state of the energy market
“Soaring energy costs made life extremely difficult for many households.
Things started to improve in late 2022. Ofgem’s energy price cap fell steadily between October 2022 and July 2024, even though prices were still significantly higher than 2021.
However, the most recent price cap announcement has seen prices start going the other way again. If you’re struggling with your energy bills, don’t hesitate to contact your energy supplier to see if you’re eligible for support.”
