In October 2022, when Ofgem's price cap level was forecast to rise to £4,279 in January 2023, the Energy Price Guarantee was introduced to protect customers from unprecedented energy bills. It was designed to act as a "safety" price cap operating at a level of £2,500 per year (subsidised by the government) for average use dual fuel customers. When ...
During the 2022-23 winter, the government had provided financial support to energy customers in the form of the Energy Bills Support Scheme, which gave each household a £400 discount on energy bills. There are no similar support measures currently available. However, there is financial help from the Household Support Fund (via local councils) and f...
The price cap affects the four million prepayment customers in the UK in the same way that it affects those on standard variable tariffs. There is a separate cap for prepayment tariffs, which is reviewed independently of the SVT cap by Ofgem. The current prepayment price cap level is £1,669.

Ofgem can raise or lower the level of the cap depending on the whol...
The price cap is set by Ofgem, the regulator for the energy industry. The way the cap level is calculated is based on a range of factors, such as the wholesale cost of energy, network costs, policy costs, operating costs and prepayment meter costs. Ofgem has committed to reviewing the level of the energy price cap four times a year in February, May...
Ofgem reserves the right to grant temporary or permanent exemptions from the price cap for tariffs and suppliers which make significant efforts to generate and supply green energy to customers. This means that they are allowed to charge rates that exceed the price cap unit rate on SVTs - in other words, the price cap does not apply to them. Ecotric...
