Major change to energy bills coming within days - here's how much more you will pay
It means that changing your energy use won't affect this part of your bill, unlike the unit rate.
“It's unfair and affects the most vulnerable disproportionately as it accounts for a bigger percentage of their bill. Unit rates will drop slightly from 10.31p per kwh to 10.31p, and from 34.04p per kwh to 33.21p for electricity.People living in North Wales and Mersey paying by direct debit will see these costs rise by as much as 27% - going from 48.6p to 61.82p, MSE’s data showed.On the other hand, homeowners in London will pay the least for electricity at a rate of 38.18p – even after a 15% rise.
A spokesperson from energy regulator Ofgem said: “Ofgem is committed to ensuring that consumers pay a fair price for their energy. He said: “The immediate impact of Russia's war in Ukraine on energy prices has faded somewhat, coupled with a reasonably mild winter has led to Europe having larger than expected energy reserves.
