Can my energy bill be higher £2,500 under the government's Energy Price Guarantee?
Yes, your energy bill for the year can be higher – or lower – than £2,500. That's because the size of your bill depends on how much energy you use.
Let's break that down:
- Under the government's Energy Price Guaranteehe, the average UK household will pay a mximum of £2,500 a year
- If you use more energy than the average UK household, your bill for the year will be higher than £2,500
- If you use less energy than the average UK household, your bill for the year will be lower than £2,500
Ofgem says a typical household uses 2,900kWh of electricity and 12,000kWh of gas each year. A typical Economy 7 household uses 4,200kWh of electricity.
