Answer
The setting of tariffs is a commercial matter for individual energy suppliers. The Government’s Energy Price Guarantee [EPG] limits the unit price households pay on gas and electricity, including those on tariffs with separate rate for day and night, bringing a typical household’s energy bill in Great Britain down to the equivalent of around £2,500 a year and a saving of £900 this winter.
From April 2023, a typical household’s energy bill is expected to be up to £3,000 a year.
