People using an average amount of gas and electricity will pay £1,717 a year, a 10% rise compared with now.
The cap, set by the energy regulator Ofgem, affects the price paid for each unit of gas and electricity used in 27 million homes in England, Wales and Scotland.
Although prices are still lower than last winter, the rise in bills comes as some support for bills has been withdrawn, and the new government has announced it will halt winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners in England and Wales.
Tories managed to bring the cost of energy down twice, Labour have started to increase it. Not only that, they're scrapping the heating allowance in England and Wales to the vulnerable pensioners. Labour just hate the British.
