Household energy prices are set to remain high throughout this winter, according to the latest forecasts that were made ahead of Wednesday's £221 jump. Ofgem’s price cap has risen by 13%, or £18 a month, from July 1 to £1,862 a year for the average household using both electricity and gas, after the Middle East conflict sent global energy costs soaring. Energy costs rocketed after Iran responded to US and Israel attacks by blocking the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas is carried. Joy Phillips is now so conscious of her energy bills that she goes to extreme lengths to budget, including not using a fan during the recent heatwave. She joins us alongside Consumer Expert Holly Mead.
