Will Owen, energy expert at Uswitch.com, comments:
“There is never a good time to see energy prices rise, but customers are likely to feel this extra cost even more as winter approaches and electricity use increases.
“Bulb Energy has blamed growing wholesale prices for the increase, and we will be watching to see how other suppliers might react as the energy market continues to rise from historic lows in April.
“Savvy consumers should act now and look online to see what energy deals are available to them. Customers can save an average of £387 by switching to a better energy tariff[1].”
