Energy Price cap changes
Once again, we have reached the time of year where the Energy Price Cap is all over the news.
17 Mar 2025
Ofgem has just announced the new price cap will be a rise of 6.4% on the current level. Remember this is the default standard variable rate on the unit rate for gas and electricity. If you use more energy you will pay for more energy.
Many will see an immediate effect on our bills when the cap changes in April. We would encourage you to speak to your supplier or investigate your options on their website. If you are concerned about money matters and how this increase will affect your priority bills, then there are several organisations around the region we can recommend
- VSA Fuel Fund, Financial Inclusion Team,
- Warm and Well with Age Scotland for elderly tenants,
- Money Talk Team – Citizens Advice Scotland, SCARF,
- British Gas Energy Support Fund
- Scottish Power Hardship Fund
- Ovo Energy Fund
- E.ON Energy Fund
- E.ON Next Energy Fund
- EDF Energy Customer Support Fund
- Octopus ‘Octo Assist Fund’
Always discuss issues with your Housing Officer if you have any worries.
