Our Money team earlier today reported that millions of households have been warned to brace themselves for higher winter energy bills.

Industry experts Cornwall Insight is forecasting that energy regulator Ofgem will increase its price cap to an average of £1,737 a year from the start of October. If so, it would be £17 a year – or 1% – more than the current level of the cap.
