Household utility bills are on the rise again!
Ofgem said the price cap will increase by another 4% on 1st October, meaning a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay another £60 more a year on top of July’s 13% increase.
That’s an increase of £240 per year in just 3 months.
THREE ENERGY PRICE INCREASES IN SIX MONTHS!
Sometimes you need to see the figures laid out in front of you to realise just how quickly things are changing.
On 30 June 2026, the typical annualised domestic energy cost was £1,477.
Then:
📈 1 July 2026: +12.6%
📈 1 October 2026: +3.6%
📈 1 January 2027: +13% forecast
Martin Lewis states, “The Cap is currently predicted to rise again in Jan. It’s a bit of crystal ball gazing, but analysts say up 13%”
If that January forecast proves correct, the typical annualised figure will have risen from:
£1,477 ➡️ £1,948
That’s an increase of almost 32% in just six months, or £471 in money terms.
With energy prices moving this quickly, it makes sense to check whether you’re paying more than you need to.
And if you are not on a fixed rate, we strongly recommend that you jump on one as soon as possible!
