Squeezed Brits have been warned that energy bills are expected to rise to £4,200 this winter amid the cost of living crisis

"While our price cap forecasts have been steadily rising since the summer 2022 cap was set in April, an increase of over £650 in the January predictions comes as a fresh shock," Mr Lowrey said.

"Many may consider the changes made by Ofgem to the hedging formula, which have contributed to the predicted increase in bills, to be unwise at a time when so many people are already struggling." "With many energy suppliers under financial pressure, and some currently making a loss, maintaining the current timeframe for suppliers to recover their hedging costs could risk a repeat of the sizable exodus seen in 2021," Mr Lowrey said.

Im afraid the zombies are the British people who allowed themselves to be locked up, muzzled and jabbed. Now the government know what insipid gutless people they are and can do just about anything and get away with it because the brits will just accept it. Theft. There is a false sense that if somehow you make it through this winter it's done. But no these extraordinary EnergyPrices are set to continue beyond the time horizon.
