UK Energy Bills to Drop in April, But Fuel Poverty Concerns Persist

The average annual household energy bill in the UK will decrease by 12% to £1,690 from April, yet 6 million households remain in fuel poverty.

The new price cap announced by Ofgem will lower the average annual dual fuel energy bill by 12%, saving households approximately £20 a month.
Despite the reduction, energy bills are still significantly higher than before the energy crisis, with many households struggling to escape fuel poverty.
Ofgem introduces measures to make the energy system more resilient and fairer, including a temporary payment to help prevent unsustainable situations leading to higher bills.
Consumer confidence in the UK dips as economic concerns grow, with the German economy also experiencing a downturn.
Experts predict the fall in energy bills will help reduce inflation, potentially leading to a summer interest rate cut.
