Millions of UK households warned over 100 rise to energy bills
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Experts at Cornwall Insight predict a further 100 hike in April, attributing it to escalating costs for operating and maintaining Great Britain's electricity and gas networks, alongside a marginal rise in a levy supporting new nuclear power stations. This forecast dampens earlier hopes, as Cornwall Insight had previously suggested the price cap would fall to 1,725 a year in January, now indicating any such relief would be fleeting."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC financials, and produced the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet sends reporters to speak to both sides and avoids paywalls, relying on donations from readers who can afford it. British households face a projected 100% energy-bill increase in April alongside a 2 per cent Ofgem price-cap rise that lifts average annual direct-debit bills from 1,720 to 1,755. Cornwall Insight forecasts a further 100% hike in April, citing higher operating and maintenance costs for Great Britain's electricity and gas networks and a marginal levy rise to support new nuclear power. The outlook reduces hopes of near-term relief and is expected to intensify calls for targeted social tariffs and other support measures to ease household financial strain.
