Households with average energy usage face a £60 annual increase in bills under new pricing rules set by the energy regulator, Ofgem. The rise reflects adjustments to the default tariff cap, which determines the maximum price suppliers can charge. The change applies to both gas and electricity customers, though exact impacts may vary depending on consumption levels. The announcement comes amid ongoing concerns over rising energy costs and affordability for consumers.
A household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay £60 a year more, regulator Ofgem says.
