The shopworkers’ union says it fears the Prime Minister’s energy plan will ultimately be “too little too late”. He said: “We will await the PM’s plan for energy bills, but fear that these will be too little, too late. That is more than £500 above the current price cap but £1,000 less than the limit due to be imposed in October. The plan is based on the current £1,971 energy price cap plus the £400 universal handout announced under Mr Johnson’s government. Help is also expected for business customers struggling with soaring bills which are not covered by the existing energy price cap in England, Scotland and Wales.
