Energy bills will rise by more than £200 a year for the average household from July, after the energy price cap was increased on Wednesday morning. The 13% rise, announced by energy regulator Ofgem, sets the maximum price per unit of gas and electricity used from July to September for a typical dual fuel household across England, Scotland and Wales. Households will see an increase of 24% on their gas bills and 5% on their electricity bills. It marks the first price cap set since the start of the Iran war on February 28, which triggered a blockade of the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route and led to significant disruption of trade and global energy markets.
