Households To Face Increased Winter Energy Bills After Price Cap Change

LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 20: Vehicles drive past a disused gas storage facility, known as a "gasometer" and an electricity pylon on August 20, 2024 in London, England. Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight has predicted a 9% rise in Great Britain's energy prices from October, with the average annual bill increasing to £1,714, up £146 from the current £1,568. However, the new price cap would still be £121 lower than last winter's £1,835, following a spike due to Russia's war in Ukraine. (Footage by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
