Twice a year, in October (the winter cap period) and April (the summer cap period), Ofgem adjusts the cap levels to reflect the estimated costs to supply energy over the next six months
New price cap levels for customers on prepayment meter and default energy tariffs (including standard variable tariffs) apply from today. Due to a sharp decrease in wholesale gas prices since the cap was last updated in February, capped tariff prices will fall this winter*.
From tomorrow (30th September), homeowners and landlords in England can apply for a voucher towards the cost of installing energy efficient and low-carbon heating improvements to homes, which could help save up to £600 a year on energy bills. The voucher covers up to two thirds of the cost of qualifying improvements to the home. The maximum value of the voucher is £5,000. Applicants may be able to receive a higher level of subsidy if they are a homeowner and either they or a member of their household receives one of the qualifying benefits, covering 100% of the cost of the improvements. The maximum value of these vouchers is £10,000. Landlords cannot apply for the low-income part of the scheme.
