The annual gas and electricity bill for a typical household is forecast to reach £1,999 from January, in what would be the biggest rise in four years.
The figure is based on a key forecast and represents the expected cost of energy for a typical household over a 12-month period. The forecast indicates that households could face higher annual spending on gas and electricity from the start of the year.
The projected increase would add to household energy costs, although the supplied forecast does not state the size of the rise compared with the current annual bill. It also does not provide further details about the factors behind the change or the organisation responsible for setting the relevant charges.
The £1,999 figure remains a forecast rather than a confirmed bill. The latest position supplied is that the expected annual cost is due to apply from January, with the rise described as the largest in four years.
