Consumers will pay more because 1 April is also date for reduction of government support
A price cap on the amount suppliers can charge for energy will fall by £999 to £3,280 from April but bills will still rise due to a planned cut in government support.
The energy regulator for Great Britain, Ofgem, said on Monday that its quarterly cap on household bills for average dual fuel, direct debit customers would fall by 23% for the three months from 1 April, from £4,279 for the January to March quarter.
