Energy Saving Workshop
Energy Price Cap to rise again
The Energy Price Cap is set to rise again on 1 April. This means that if you are not on a fixed tariff (and most people are not), your gas and electricity bill is likely to go up - for some users less than others.
The company Money Saving Expert say: "So for every £100 you pay for energy now, from April you'll pay roughly £106.40. Yet, in reality...some lower users (below £100 a month) will see only small rises, but those who use a lot (above £200 a month) will likely see 7% to 10% increases."
With this in mind, it's a really good time to be thinking about what you can do to reduce your energy costs and how to make your money go further with the Age UK Islington Energy Saving Workshop that we're running together with Adult Community Learning and SHINE. See below for further details and how to book.
