Ofgem to announce 5% energy bill hike, leaving homes £3,000 worse off since crisis hit
Money is stacked on top of an energy bill, February 3, 2025
HOUSEHOLDS will have paid an extra £3,000 for their energy bills since the crisis began in 2020, campaigners have warned as prices are set to rise again from April.
Watchdog Ofgem will announce the new energy price cap today for April until July, with experts predicting a 5 per cent rise in bills.
This means the average household is paying around £750 more per year for energy compared to winter 2020-21 — a staggering 75 per cent increase.
