The government says the move should help ease the financial pressure on thousands of households.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “We know people are worried about their bills rising in April, so, to give people some peace of mind, we’re keeping the energy price guarantee at its current level until the summer, when gas prices are expected to fall.
Falling global energy prices mean that the current level will be extended to “bridge the gap” until costs are expected to fall below the cap. “With energy bills set to fall from July onwards, this temporary change will bridge the gap and ease the pressure on families, while also helping to lower inflation too.”
