While bills are expected to fall overall for the vast majority of households, some energy customers will see an additional charge from today
Energy regulator Ofgem has now dropped the price cap by 12.3 per cent, bringing it from £1,928 to £1,690 a year for a typical dual fuel household in England, Scotland and Wales. However, while households will see an average drop of £238, an additional charge will be added to many people's bills from today.
Not all customers will be hit by the new additional charge. Ofgem confirmed that it will only be added to the bills of customers who pay via Direct Debit or standard credit. This means those who pay through a prepayment meter will not have to pay it because prepayment customers, who top up as and when they need it, do not generally build up the same level of debt as credit customers.
The regulator has also introduced plans to stop prepayment customers from paying higher standing charges than others by 'levelling' the rates. This has resulted in a rise in standing charges for most people.
