The Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced today that the Energy Price Guarantee (which had been scheduled to last for two years) will now be limited to 6 months.

He has announced a review to look at what support will be applied after April 2023 – signalling a ‘new approach’ was required, targeting those most in need.

Until then, the price guarantee (the ‘cap’) remains in place, which means that for a typical household, an annual bill will be around £2,500. For those who use more energy, the bill will be higher because it is the unit cost of energy that is capped – not the overall bill.

Similarly for those using less energy, the bill will be less.

The £400 grant being paid in 6 monthly instalments from October 2022 remains in place.
