National Energy Action (NEA) has responded to Ofgem’s energy price cap announcement.
Ofgem has announced that typical energy bill from January to March will be £1,738 a year. This is an increase of £21 or 1% from the current level.
Adam Scorer, NEA’s chief executive, said: “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.”
