Energy Price Cap

The energy price cap governs what households across the UK pay for their energy – the price per unit, not the total bill.

As of 1 January 2025, a typical household using gas and electricity will now pay £1,738 a year. Bear in mind that each Price Cap only last three months, and the Cap is predicted to rise again in April 2025.

Do I Live In A Typical Household?

Probably not. Most households aren’t typical. The calculations for a typical household are based on a direct debit customer using 12,000 kWh (kilowatt hours) of gas and 2,900 kWh of electricity a year.

A kilowatt hour is a unit of energy used to calculate your bill. Bills are based on how much energy you actually use, which depends on the number of people, the type of property and its energy efficiency.

Even though the price cap is lower than last year, we know lots of households will struggle to cover the rising costs of energy. Please get in touch with us if you are worried about your fuel bills.
