Ofgem announced the 1 July energy price cap on 27 May.
This explainer outlines the changes to the cap, which has risen as a result of ongoing volatility in wholesale gas markets. It also covers changes to the Typical Domestic Consumption Value (TDCV), the figures on assumed average household energy consumption calculated by the regulator to illustrate price cap changes and help customers compare tariffs.
