We are Britain’s independent energy regulator.
Our role is to protect consumers now and in the future by working to deliver a greener, fairer energy system.
For every £1 you spend on your energy bill this is where your money goes if you are on a standard variable tariff ⬇️ 🧵
Figures are approximate due to rounding
From 1 October 2026, the average price cap unit rates and standing charges for energy are changing.
These are caps on unit rates plus the standing charge (not a cap on your total bill).
