The bleak prediction comes as households are already struggling with rising food and fuel prices.

All types of household energy bill are now heading above £3,000 a year this winter, say energy industry sources.

But adding to the uncertainty are the resignations of the chancellor and health secretary which are drawing ministers' attention inward and away from any economic rescue plan.The £3,000 household bill figure, seen by the BBC, is £200 higher than predicted by energy watchdog Ofgem in May. The industry now anticipates that these price levels will sustain for most of the rest of the period, amid strike disruption to Norwegian supplies of gas.The figures seen by the BBC have been calculated using the same methodology announced by Ofgem.A household using the same amount of energy but paying by prepayment meter would be charged £3,048 per year.

Even the extra financial support from government which was widely welcomed by charities and campaigners was based on the expectation of a lower bill rise than that.
