Government: Energy bills hike 'deeply worrying' for families

The average household energy bill is to increase by £149 from October after Ofgem said it was increasing its price cap as homes approach the winter months.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the announcement “will be deeply worrying news for many families”.

He blamed the price cap hike on the “failed energy policy we inherited, which has left our country at the mercy of international gas markets controlled by dictators”.
