Domestic energy prices are set to rise with the implementation of Ofgem’s new price cap, resulting in average annual bills reaching £1,738. The increase comes amidst predictions of further hikes in April due to volatile wholesale prices. Campaigners urge for long-term solutions, while households are advised to submit accurate meter readings to avoid overcharging. With many families facing significant debts to energy suppliers, community support workers emphasize seeking help and exploring cost-saving options.
