Energy price cap: Bill shock for millions as rises hit
BBC News says millions of people will now feel the impact of an unprecedented £700-a-year rise in energy costs – at the same time as a host of bill hikes take effect.
The 54% rise in the energy price cap means a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will now pay £1,971 per year.
A further rise pushing the annual bill up to £2,600 should be expected in October, one analyst has told the BBC.
Council tax, water bills and car tax are also going up for some on 1 April.
Minimum wage rates are rising which, along with some financial support from the government, is partially softening the blow.
