In real terms, dual-fuel bills for a typical household have risen an eye-watering £548 in real terms (47%) from £1,175 in Oct 2020 to £1,723 in Oct 2026 £444 of that rise (81%) is driven by expensive gas (!)

Despite all the media coverage of wind "constraint payments" ie "paying windfarms to switch off" (and paying gas plants to switch on), this accounts for less than 4% of typical household electricity bills (Yes, balancing costs are going up, but in total they add £35 to a total bill of £858)
