UK households face second record energy bill rise

Analysts predict a further 14% jump for spring 2022 on top of next month's scheduled 139 rise

Millions of households could face a second record jump in energy bills next spring, on top of the 139 increase due next month, as the global gas crisis continues to drive market prices to new highs.

An even larger energy bill rise is expected from next April after the steady increase in gas and electricity market prices, which could add between 178 and 294 to the typical price of a default dual-fuel energy deal.
