Energy bills ‘to fall by nearly another £100 in October’

The average annual energy bill will fall by £96 in October, experts have predicted.

Analysts at Cornwall Insight released their latest forecast ahead of tomorrow’s (1 July) drop in Ofgem’s energy price cap. The change in the price cap will see the average household’s annual energy costs fall by £426 to £2,074.

If the prediction from Cornwall Insight is correct, bills will then dip below £2,000 to £1,978 from October.

This means our winter fuel bills should be lower than last year’s when the average amount paid was capped at £2,500 under the government’s energy price guarantee. We won’t be getting the £400 in government support this time round though, so the impact won’t be huge.
