For consumers, today’s announcement is a warning that prices could rise before the end of the year. With many still struggling to come to terms with the last two rounds of price hikes – which saw bills rise £224 or 21% in a period of less than 18 months[2], we urge households to make sure they are on a competitively priced energy planand ensure homes are as energy efficient as possible by taking up one of the many subsidised insulation offers.
