A Reader What could happen to energy bills in the UK in 2026 and how can I keep my costs down?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Sorted Team: Energy bills in the UK may change during 2026 because Ofgem reviews the energy price cap every three months, although the cap is not a limit on the amount a household can pay. Your bill depends on your tariff, region and actual energy use, so check the latest figures on Ofgem or GOV.UK rather than relying on forecasts. Compare available tariffs, submit regular meter readings and ask your supplier about payment plans or hardship support if you are struggling. You may also be able to apply for schemes such as the Warm Home Discount, depending on the rules and your circumstances.
