The average household energy bill is set to fall by another 7% in July when the latest change to the price cap takes effect, according to experts.
Energy consultants Cornwall Insight said they expect the typical household's energy bill to fall from £1,690 a year currently to £1,574 on July 1.
This would be £500 less than the cap in July last year, when it was £2,074.
But it is slightly higher than the £1,560 the group previously predicted for July, while Cornwall added it expects Ofgem to increase the energy price cap in October, before dropping it again in January 2025.
Ofgem will announce the energy price cap for July to September on May 24.
