Uswitch comments on Cornwall Insight predictions of £3,615 January price cap
Justina Miltienyte, head of policy at Uswitch.com, said: “With the price cap likely to be updated every three months for the first time, the predictions of the prices set to hit just after Christmas will bring more pain to households at the time they use most energy.
“This latest figure of £3,615 for January will be deeply alarming to households already set to face steep October price rises, while the Government support package will most likely not be enough to shield customers from the worst of the impacts of these price increases.
“The Energy Bill Support needs to be urgently reviewed. The new predictions will leave a lot of people worried about how they are going to afford their bills this winter, and they desperately need to know that sufficient financial support will be provided.
“Households need clarity as soon as possible to help them plan for the most expensive winter in living memory.”
