Soaring energy bills will see people suffering and living on streets, Brits warn
An online energy bill, as the biggest jump in domestic energy bills in living memory has come into effect as charities warn that 2.5 million more households are set to fall into "fuel stress"
SOARING energy bills will lead to people suffering and living on the streets, Britons warned today after Ofgem’s price cap rose by 54 per cent and as the cost of living continues to soar.
Almost half of adults were already struggling to pay their energy bills before the biggest jump in prices in living memory took effect this week, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Andie Darlington from Belper, Derbyshire, said that she had been paying £39 per month, but an email on Friday informed her that her new monthly bill would be £133.68.
