On 27 May, Ofgem will announce the new energy price cap, and households will learn what their energy bills will cost them this summer.
For the millions of households living in fuel poverty and for those already in energy debt, this will be a question of whether they can afford to keep the lights on.
Yet at the moment this announcement approaches, political turbulence at Westminster is dominating the news, with ministers and MPs focused on questions of leadership rather than the cost of energy crisis.
A spokesperson for the End Fuel Poverty Coalition commented:
“In just 15 days, Ofgem will announce the new energy price cap and households will learn how much their energy bills will increase.
“The Government should be working flat out on a package of support for vulnerable households and those in energy debt now, while urgently reforming electricity prices to bring down costs for everyone.
“Energy bills were the number one cost of living concern for voters at the last elections. All MPs and Ministers should be focussed on addressing the challenges constituents face rather than internal party politics and the Westminster bubble.”
