Ofgem said today that the energy price ceiling would henceforth be revised every three months rather than every six months, citing the “extremely hard winter ahead” for households.
According to the energy regulator, the move to quarterly revisions ensures that “prices paid to bill-payers are a better representation of actual gas and electricity costs.”
This will enable “energy suppliers to better manage their risks, creating a more secure market and helping to keep costs down for everyone,” Ofgem continued.
The energy price cap update schedule modification, according to the London-based regulator, “will go some way to provide the stability needed in the energy market.”
However, charities cautioned that while the shift in frequency may lower expenses over the long run, it “does the reverse of assisting this winter—in the heart of an energy crisis.”
Others wrote that Ofgem has to be “brought under control” and “isn’t fit for purpose” and that “a price cap every three months is essentially not having a price cap.”

- To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.This Is A Simplified Version (AMP)! For Latest Updates And Additions......
