The current Ofgem energy price cap of £1,971 for UK average household bills, implemented in April this year, is already 54% and 90% higher than those in October of 2021 and 2020 respectively. But the latest forecast by independent energy consultancy Auxilione warned the price cap could surge to £5,038 by April 2023, which would be a 380% increase over the October 2020 level. Whilst Britons are still enjoying the late summer sunny days, there is no doubt a national fuel crisis is looming on the horizon. It will affect literally every UK household and push many into fuel poverty.
