How Much Will Energy Users Pay?

8th September 2022

Energy Users will still pay for the gas and electricity they use. But the government's Energy Price Guarantee will limit the price that suppliers can charge for each unit of energy.

For a typical household - one that uses 12,000 kWh (kilowatt hours) of gas a year, and 2,900 kWh of electricity a year - it means an annual bill will not rise above £2,500 from October. Without this intervention, that annual bill would have been £3,549 a year. Last winter it was £1,277 a year.

However, if you use more gas or electricity than that, you will pay more.

This guarantee will last for two years.
