British households still 'saddled with highest energy bills in developed world'
Energy experts have had their say on the news today that the energy price cap will fall to £1,720, saving households on capped tariffs £129 a year from July. Ashton Berkhauer, an energy expert at MoneySuperMarket, commented: 'The reduction in the energy price cap is welcome, if overdue, news for families across the country who the cost-of-living crisis has battered. "However, even with this reduction, the price cap is still almost 50% higher than when it was first introduced in 20191." 'For over half a decade, British households have been saddled with some of the highest energy bills of any developed country in the world. "The average UK household currently pays around 27% more for its energy than their European neighbours. "So, while this latest move from Ofgem is a step in the right direction, many households will still be feeling the impact of high energy bills.'

From 10am today (Friday 23rd May), MoneySuperMarket customers will have access to a new exclusive fixed energy deal from Next, below the new energy price cap5.
