The Government has secretly scrapped a £25m pilot to give free plug-in solar panels to low-income households, @UtilityWeek reveals.

Panels that could save families up to £110 a year will now stay out of reach for those who need them most.

It’s the wrong decision and a false economy.

High wholesale gas prices are keeping households under pressure, with forecasts predicting another rise in energy bills in January.

Lower price cap headline figures don’t necessarily mean lower energy costs. Ofgem now assumes a typical household uses less gas and electricity, which reduces the annual bill figure used to describe the price cap. Our comparison keeps energy use the same throughout, showing how costs have risen and what a further increase in January could mean for households.

The prospect of further rises underlines the need to protect people struggling to keep warm this winter.

Households need meaningful support with their bills now, alongside investment in warmer homes and affordable clean energy to reduce our exposure to the fossil fuel price rollercoaster.

Ithaca Energy's market value is up £1.4 billion since the start of the war in Iran.

Its CEO's shares have risen by £1.1 million.

They're celebrating while families work out what more they can cut from their already extremely tight budgets.

This week, check how your boiler, thermostat and radiator valves work.

Look up the manufacturer’s instructions and, if you have boiler central heating, set the timer around when you need your home to be warm.

Anywhere between 18°C and 21°C is a healthy temperature for your home. If a room feels too hot, adjusting the heating can help reduce energy use while keeping you comfortable.
