Ofgem has confirmed that the Energy Price Cap will go up by 5% in January 2024
This means that the annual energy bill for a typical dual-fuel direct debit household in Great Britain will increase from an average of £1,834 to £1,928 (£94).
‘Recap’ on the Energy Price Cap
The Energy Price Cap is set by the UK energy regulator, Ofgem, and it’s the maximum price that suppliers can charge you for energy. It limits how much you pay for each unit of gas or electricity you use, as well as how much you pay for daily standing charges.
Remember: while we talk about ‘typical bills’ and give figures as examples, the Energy Price Cap does not limit your overall bill, just the rates you’re being charged at. So, the more gas or electricity you use, the more you will still pay.
