BREAKING: Average annual energy bills will rise by hundreds of pounds from July for a typical dual fuel household, the energy regulator Ofgem has announced.  It represents a 13% increase to £1,862 a year for a typical household. That means bills will cost £18 more a month.

Dan Tomlinson says the govt won't be rolling out a universal scheme to help everyone with their energy bills. Instead it'll take targeted steps. The interviewer asks him who'll receive the targeted help & when it will be available. Dan refuses to say

Energy shouldn't be a luxury. Today's energy price cap increase will push 1,000s deeper into debt, forcing many to choose between heat, light and other essentials. We can’t go on like this.

The 13 per cent rise in the energy price cap from July will have only a small impact on household energy costs over summer, rising by £21 for a typical household. But the outlook for energy bills after this remains uncertain, and Government should be ready to respond if markets turn for the worse.

UK Energy Price Cap Rises 13% to £1.862 from July Ofgem announced a 13% hike in the energy price cap. lifting the typical annual dual-fuel bill to £1,862 from July 1 to September 30, mainly due to wholesale cost surges from the US-Israel war on Iran that started in late February.

🚨A 13% rise in the energy price cap is simply unaffordable. The UK Government must do all it can to protect households. I am reiterating my call on the PM to convene a four nations summit to agree action to bring down the energy price cap before further pressures in the autumn.

Ofgem has blamed the war in Iran for the 13% rise in energy bills — a remarkable display of mealy-mouthed ineptitude. “It is ordinary households that pay,” @weownit.org.uk tells the Canary.

A big rise in home energy bills coming in July. This is very much driven by the Iran war. Gas bills are up by much more than electricity. The electricity - gas price ratio has fallen to 3.6 under the price cap, from 4.3

Energy bills will rise by 13% or by £221 a household a year. The government say that 52% of our electricity comes from renewables. When does the revolution start? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s meant to be a price cap, not an instruction. Energy companies are profiteering and ripping us off. Ofgem and other regulators are not protecting consumers, just their own existence. Answer is simple. Nationalisation of resources people need to live. #LabourIsDead

£18 per Month More - This is the news we have been expecting on energy bills since the war in Iran started: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If UK and Scottish Governments had done more over last 20 years to move us to renewables, we would be less exposed to this surge in global energy prices.

Ofgem will raise the energy price cap by 13% from July due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the regulator has announced

13% increase in energy bills 😦. Nice bit of burying bad news while the country sizzles. Christ on a bike

#BBCBreakfast: Energy bills up 13% £221 more a year. Why? Iran war. Not our war. Our bill. Meanwhile, the monarchy costs us £86m a year. For helicopters, palaces, and Andrew's security. One war we didn't choose. One crown we never voted for. Both on our tab. 💷👑
