The energy regulator, Ofgem, said on Friday that the quarterly price cap covering January to March will rise by 0.2% for the average annual dual fuel energy bill to £1,758, from £1,755 in the current quarter.
Ofgem said, when adjusting for inflation, the cap is 2%, or £37, lower than the same period in 2025.
