@Ed_Miliband "Cheap" and "secure" energy... 🤔

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@GMB Spot on.

The average bill will be £1,862 per year from 1st July 2026.

You can switch and fix, RIGHT NOW, to a cheaper tariff costing £1,647.

That protects you against 99.6% of this latest price hike.

@KEdge23 Correct. Despite a pledge to reduce bills by £300, the government now stands +£359 above target.

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@ClaireCoutinho True. Energy bills are now £359 over target.

Our live tracker will be following this all the way through to 2030.

@sharrond62 And yet it keeps happening...

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@martinmccluskey @ofgem Are you actually trying to put a positive spin on people's bills going up...AGAIN?! 👀

Took about reading the room.

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@KemiBadenoch It's not going too well with this £300-by-2030 pledge.

In our push for "cheap" and "secure" energy, the reality for UK consumers is our bills CONTINUE to rise.

Today's news of a 13% price hike on domestic energy bills is another slap in the face for UK bill payers as the cost-of-living struggle goes on.

Most notably in this latest change to the 'Energy Price Cap', which affects 30million accounts, the unit rate of gas has increased by 27.7% adding £183 to the average annual bill.

The unit rate of electricity has risen by 5.8%.

Below, to provide a more accurate view of the direction of our energy costs, we combine the per-kWh unit rate with the daily standing charge to give an equivalent unit cost per fuel.

Labour now £359 off energy pledge target!

Despite Labour's pledge to lower energy bills by £300 by 2030, our LIVE TRACKER shows that UK domestic energy bills are now £359 behind target.

Despite shifting some policy costs to general taxation earlier in the year, the cost of UK energy continues to rise.

The latest Energy Price Cap puts UK energy bills at £1,862 (£1,787 in real terms compared to 2024).

@Everton Get this legends testimonial lined up ASAP so the fans can show Seamus just how much he's loved. 💙

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@TorstenBell This is going to last all of a few weeks until energy prices go up by 12-13% from 1st July.

Announcement due next week to confirm the latest 'Energy Price Cap' which will see the average bill increase by £210.

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@TopicalUpdates @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Ed_Miliband Yeh, that's not going so well. 👀

All this talk about inflation falling, when we're a week away from @ofgem announcing that energy bills will go up by 12-13% from 1st July 2026.

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@Kevin_Maguire Just a delay.

Energy bills going up by 12-13% from 1st July is when we'll start to feel the reality.

This price increase is due to be confirmed next week when @ofgem announces the latest 'Energy Price Cap'.

[The Energy Shop @_TheEnergyShop]

@darrenpjones You know this is just a temporary dip, and that energy bills will go up by 12-13% from 1st July 2026.

Also, the fall in electricity prices was made by moving policy costs to general taxation i.e. we're still paying for it.

The key difference is they’re China and we’re the UK.

They decide and do. We consult, debate and challenge.
They move fast and accept more risk. We tend to be more risk-averse and regulated.
They face fewer planning and environmental barriers. We often face local and national objections.
They build at huge scale with large domestic workforces. We rely more on fragmented supply chains and outsourcing.
They have stronger domestic manufacturing for materials like steel and cement. We import more and have smaller industrial capacity.
They standardise and repeat proven designs. We often build bespoke solutions.
They commit to long-term infrastructure programmes. We frequently change direction or pause projects.

Overall, China tends to prioritise speed and delivery. The UK tends to prioritise scrutiny, rights and consensus.

Energy bills are about to go UP! 🚀

The sooner you act, the bigger your savings will be.

The Energy Price Cap is expected to be announced next week confirming a 12-13% rise in domestic energy bills taking the average energy bill to £1,848.

This will add around £210 per year, per customer.

However, the cheapest "fixed" tariffs may be available right now, with prices rising steadily each week.

In the last month alone, we have seen the cheapest fixed deal increase by almost 3%.

@DaleVince When this finally happens, what price do you think Ecotricity, and others in the sector, will be able to offer for an average dual fuel customer?
