Energy price warning as expert says 'crisis is not over'

Despite a huge £238 fall in the energy price cap at the start of April, millions of households will remain in debt or abject fuel poverty, according to Ofgem data. Poverty charity National Energy Action has said the ongoing energy crisis 'cannot be the new normal'.

In the two years since energy prices spiked, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people across the UK have struggled to pay their energy bills and accrued debt. According to Ofgem data, around 2.3 million households have racked up an average of £1200 in energy each - a total of £3bn in unpaid energy bills.

According to National Energy Action’s research, six million UK households will be in fuel poverty from April 1. Across all of these categories, those in debt were at least twice as likely to be resorting to these drastic measures than those no in debt.
