The UK’s energy price cap, the maximum amount a utility company can charge an average customer per year for the amount of electricity and gas they use, has just been reviewed and risen by 54 per cent, meaning a steep rise in household bills this spring.
From 1 April, the cap will rise from £1,277 to £1,971 for a household on average usage. That means a £693 per year increase for the average customer.
Now is the time to off set the price rise with a solar PV installation, reducing the power you draw through the electrical meter. And potentially getting paid for any excess energy you don’t use.
