U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss on Thursday announced a broad stimulus package to help Brits with soaring energy bills and attract investment into the energy sector.
The price cap in the U.K., set by the regulator Ofgem, essentially limits the amount a supplier can charge for their tariffs, but this limit has surged higher recently due to the rise in wholesale prices — meaning Brits have seen bills skyrocket.
Deutsche Bank estimated that Truss would implement an energy bill freeze. It was speculated whether Truss would keep the October energy cap at £3,549, as announced by Ofgem on Aug. 26, or whether the freeze would be put at £2,500 per household per year.
