United Kingdom's domestic energy price cap is forecast to rise 16% in January to £1,999 a year, according to analysts at Cornwall Insight. The projected increase adds £276 to the typical annual bill from October's level of £1,723, marking the highest rate since March 2023. Higher utility costs threaten household budgets across the country just as winter heating demand peaks.
