A hard winter awaits the people of England / Electricity and gas bills in England have doubled

According to the report of the International Economic Reporter of Fars News Agency, quoted by the Financial Times, John Pettigrew, the CEO of the National Electricity Distribution Company of England, announced: Many households in this country will face serious problems in paying their electricity and gas bills in the coming winter; Because these bills will become twice as expensive compared to last year despite the government’s efforts to control the price.

During an interview, he said that the British people will experience a very, very difficult financial season in the coming winter.

Pettigrew added: “Even with the price cap set by the government, people will have to pay twice as much for electricity and gas than the previous winter.” For this reason, inevitably, many people will face difficulties in paying these bills.

The British government has limited the cost of paying electricity and gas bills for each household to an average of 2,500 pounds, equivalent to 2,885 dollars, per year, which, despite this measure, is almost twice the amount of electricity and gas bills for each household in the previous winter in this country. .

According to the program of the British government, each household receives a subsidy of 400 pounds from the social service in its electricity and gas bill, but this figure is not enough to compensate for the sharp increase in the price of energy carriers in this country.
