23 February 2024- OFGEM (Office of Energy and Gas Markets) announced that from 1 April 2024 the price for energy a typical household who use gas and electricity and pay by Direct Debit will go down to £1,690 per year. This is £238 per year lower than the price cap set between 1 January to 31 March 2024 (£1,928).
