Households across Britain are facing increasing energy costs this winter after the regulator raised its price cap. From yesterday (October 1), Ofgem's price cap rose by £149 from the previous £1,568 a year for a typical household in England, Scotland and Wales to £1,717.

Here, we look at why the price cap has gone up and what people can do to help lower the cost of their energy bills. The energy price cap sets a maximum price that energy suppliers can charge consumers in England, Scotland and Wales for each kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy they use.

The figures provided by Ofgem indicate what a household using gas and electricity, and paying by direct debit, can expect to pay if their energy consumption is typical.

It is important to note that it does not limit a home's total bills because people still pay for the amount of energy they use so if it is above the average they will pay more, and if it is below they will pay less.
