Ofgem has announced that the energy price cap will rise by 4% from 1 October 2026.
For a typical household using gas and electricity and paying by Direct Debit, this represents a total increase of around £5 a month.
If you are on a fixed-rate tariff, you should not be affected by this price cap increase, although your monthly payments will depend on the terms of your tariff.
If you would like advice about an energy issue, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the CAN Energy Team at energy@ca-north.org.uk.
