Bills soared after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine last year sent global gas prices surging.<\/p>\n<p>Bills went from about \u00a31,000 to \u00a32,500. Billions of pounds of taxpayer subsidies were spent to stop them from going higher. They started to come down in July as wholesale gas prices eased.<\/p>\n<p>The October cap of \u00a31,923 marks the first time it will be below \u00a32,000 since last summer. January\u2019s cap will be set later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Investec analyst Martin Young said: \u2018Our latest price-cap estimates point to an 8 per cent jump, exacerbating cost of living pain.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr Young warned estimates stayed \u2018highly volatile\u2019 given possible market movements between now and when the cap is set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He predicts bills will be \u2018back above the \u00a32,000 level for what is the highest consumption quarter of the year\u2019, adding: \u2018The cost of energy\/living crisis is not dissipating.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Inflation rose to 11.1 per cent last autumn, and dropped to 6.8 per cent in July. But internal Treasury analysis suggests inflation climbed to more than 7 per cent in August.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, RAC figures show average petrol prices went up by 7 pence per litre over last month \u2013 one of the biggest monthly fuel rises over the past two decades.<\/p>\n<p>Ministers will overhaul planning rules that prevent onshore wind farms being built.<\/p>\n<p>Government sources said they would bring into force immediate changes to stop just one person being able to block projects \u2013 as has been the case under rules since 2015. It would end the de facto ban on new wind turbine sites, as long as there is sufficient local support.<\/p>\n<p>The pledge is designed to prevent a Commons defeat today, seeing off an amendment to the Energy Bill tabled by Tory Alok Sharma.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12480473\/Warnings-annual-energy-bills-climb-2-000-year-Ofgems-price-cap-rises-putting-pressure-struggling-households.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warnings annual energy bills could climb back<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":180901,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
