Energy price cap expected to rise
Ofgem to announce new cap tomorrow.
Energy regulator Ofgem will announce the next official quarterly price cap on Friday, with the cap expected to rise by 9%. The cap sets out the amount an energy supplier can charge for each unit of electricity and gas.
This would mean a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity would pay £1,714 a year from October, a £146 a year rise compared with a current typical annual bill.
SFHA is engaging with Ofgem and will continue to call for wider reforms from the UK Government - including the introduction of a social tariff - to help protect tenants.
We also call for a range of measures related to energy in our asks of Scottish Government ahead of the Programme for Government next month. You can find our Programme for Government briefing here.
