How the Price Cap Works
Ofgem's price cap doesn't cap your total bill — it caps the unit rate (pence per kWh) and standing charge (pence per day) that suppliers can charge for each fuel. If you use more energy than average, you pay more. The "typical household" figure of £1,849/year is based on Ofgem's definition of 2,700 kWh electricity and 11,500 kWh gas.
What to Do If You're Being Charged More
- Check your bill shows rates at or below the cap unit rates
- If overcharged, raise a formal complaint with your supplier first
- If unresolved after 8 weeks, escalate to the Energy Ombudsman (free, binding decisions up to £10,000)
- Eligible households (UC, pension credit, etc.) can get £150/year Warm Home Discount — check our Warm Home Discount Checker
