What It Means for Households – and How Solar Can Help
Millions of UK households have woken up to the news that the energy price cap is set to rise by another 2% in October, bringing with it higher electricity bills as we go into winter. The cap, which limits how much suppliers can charge per unit of electricity, has been climbing in recent years due to the global energy market pressures. Families are once again facing higher electricity costs, putting more strain on household budgets.
What Does the Price Cap Increase Mean?
The price cap is designed to protect households, but when wholesale prices are volatile and rising, the cap will rise too. For households, this means higher energy bills, even if your usage remains the same. As energy costs change quarterly, it is more difficult to predict energy prices for the year, increasing the pressure of the cost of living.
With more rises expected in the years ahead, many families are asking: How can we take back control of our energy costs?
How Solar Can Beat Rising Prices
By generating your own electricity at home, you reduce your reliance on the grid, meaning you’re reducing the amount you’re exposed to the price hikes. A solar PV system can reduce your monthly electricity bill by up to 70%, your investment will protect you long-term for continuous savings.
