Are your energy bills about to soar? Latest on the Ofgem price cap and how to beat imminent rises
From October, millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills.
Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year, due to rising wholesale costs.
The cap is now at a record high and it means those who are on a standard variable tariff, or a prepayment meter, could be facing hundreds of pounds added to their annual bills.
Lee Boyce, Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap, what it means and how to potentially beat it.

She takes a look back at some of her most satisfying wins and her passion for helping This is Money readers achieve a fair result from a variety of different firms.
