Energy: Prices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of increases in energy bills on consumers.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
We recognise that bills going up will be worrying news for families. The reason for the increase to the price cap is due to an increase in wholesale energy costs which are influenced by international energy markets which we cannot control. This is why our Clean Power 2030 Mission is so vital. In the short term, we are extending support to ballplayers through the expanded Warm Home Discount, and we are working with Ofgem to accelerate work on a potential energy debt scheme.
