New chancellor makes big changes to the Energy Price Guarantee Oct 20, 2022

For many UK households, the Energy Price Guarantee came as a relief after the October Price Cap.

This was initially introduced as a two-year scheme by PM Liz Truss.

However, in an attempt to stabilise the markets, it is now understood that this support will be ending for many come April 2023.

Chancellor Hunt has stated that a review will take place after this time, targeted at providing support to the worst off.

Despite this, End Fuel Poverty Coalition claims that 11 million households could be facing fuel poverty from April.

New estimates show that 11m UK households (37.6%) will be in #fuelpoverty following the end of Government support in April 2023.

An increase from 7m (24.5%) this winter.

Which in itself is an increase from 4.6m (16%) last winter.https://t.co/2i8sgRVQzb
