CAMPAIGNERS called for more support to protect pensioners from sky-high energy bills this winter as prices increased under Ofgem’s latest cap hike today.
The average household energy bill has increased by £149 a year after the watchdog’s introduction of a £1,717 price cap for a typical dual-fuel household in Britain.
