AVERAGE household energy bills will likely rise by 5 per cent in April, energy consultancy Cornwall Insight said today.

The group said it expects regulator Ofgem to increase the energy price cap by £85 to £1,823 for a typical household, due to an increase in wholesale gas prices across Europe.

Warm this Winter spokeswoman Caroline Simpson warned that the public is largely unaware that electricity bills are chained to gas prices.
