On the topic of the energy price cap increase, Dan Brooke, CEO of Smart Energy GB, said: “Today’s price cap increase is not good news for people across Britain. Any support is welcome at this difficult time and the Government measures announced today will hopefully help soften the immediate impact of price rises many people face. Anyone worried about paying their energy bill should not suffer in silence, but ask for help.
“Energy suppliers can offer support and organisations like Citizens Advice have information on getting financial help, including what benefits and grants there are. A smart meter can help you better understand your energy use and how to prepare for and manage your costs. This situation also highlights the need to end our reliance on gas for heating our homes and move instead to a cleaner and smarter energy system, which smart meters help enable.”
