Households Urged to Submit Meter Readings Before New Ofgem Price Cap
- On July 1, Ofgem's energy price cap drops by 7%, lowering the maximum charge from £1,849 to £1,720 for households not on fixed tariffs.
- This reduction follows the peak of the energy crisis in early 2023 and reflects lower unit rates and decreased summer usage amid ongoing high prices.
- Households must submit accurate meter readings by June 30 to avoid estimated bills at the old higher rates and to fully benefit from the new cap.
- Energy experts encourage consumers to switch to one of the 10 fixed deals currently cheaper than the new cap to secure savings averaging about £145 annually.
- Meanwhile, the Alzheimer’s Society urges carers to help people with dementia stay cool and hydrated during the ongoing heatwave, protecting them from severe heat-related health risks.
