Power cut

Boost for families as energy bills fall £117

- BY GRAHAM HISCOTT Business and Consumer Editor

ENERGY bills for almost all households will fall from April, but remain nearly £600 above 2021 levels.

Regulator Ofgem announced its price cap will drop £117 to £1,641 a year for the average household using both electricity and gas and paying by direct debit.

The biggest reason for the fall is Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ £150 cut to bills announced in the last Budget.
