Energy bills to rise in October despite predictions of relief for households
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Energy bills for UK households are set to rise by 35 from October, Ofgem has confirmed, despite previous predictions that prices would fall. The regulator confirmed the 2 per cent rise in bills on Wednesday morning, meaning the average annual bill will rise from 1,720 to 1,755. Bills had previously been forecast to fall in October by a similar amount. At the last announcement in July, bills fell by around seven per cent from the previous cap set for April to June of this year,"
The Independent deploys reporters to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The outlet investigates the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent emphasizes parsing factual information from messaging and maintaining free access to reporting funded by donations. Donations enable sending journalists to report to both sides without paywalls. Ofgem confirmed an energy bill rise from October, with a 2 per cent increase raising the average annual bill from 1,720 to 1,755. Expansion of the Warm Home Discount adds around 15 to a typical bill while giving 150 in support to 2.7m extra people.
