Ofgem has information for people who are struggling with their bills on its website
Under proposals from Ofgem, energy price hikes could become smaller, but more frequent.
Ofgem, which is consulting on the issue, said a more frequent price cap would reflect the most up-to-date and accurate energy prices – meaning when prices eventually fall from current record highs, customers would see the benefit sooner. Mr Jobson said: “The recent increase in the energy price cap, which has added almost £700 a year to the average household’s bills, has pushed many finely crafted budgets to breaking point.”
“Those struggling to keep on top of their energy bills needn’t suffer in silence – there is support out there. Energy companies have schemes to help people who are struggling to afford their bills.”It suggests contacting your supplier as soon as you can if you are worried about paying your energy bills or are in debt to your supplier. Suppliers must work with you to agree on a payment plan customers can afford under Ofgem rules.
