THE average household has spent £2,300 more on energy bills since April 2021 than they would have done had prices remained stable, an analysis has found ahead of tomorrow’s Ofgem price cap.

The figure, calculated by the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, considers the government support schemes that were set up to help households.

It means that, across the whole country, the additional spending by households on energy over the last three years could total more than £68 billion.
