Starting in April, an average household will see financial relief with savings amounting to up to \u00a3117 annually. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The breakdown of the &#8220;new domestic electricity and gas tariffs&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n<p>Under the new regulations, the estimated annual expenditure for families with <strong>gas contracts<\/strong> and ele<strong>c<\/strong>tricity will be \u00a31,641. It is crucial to understand that this adjustment responds to the elimination of environmental charges from direct bills, transferring them to general taxation. <\/p>\n\n<p>Likewise, the \u00a338 reduction in wholesale acquisition costs has offset the increase in network investments necessary for system modernization under the <strong>RIIO-3 framework<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Major suppliers such as <strong>British Gas<\/strong>, <strong>Octopus<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/edf-to-develop-the-mediterraneans-first-floating-wind-farm\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"264286\">EDF<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong>E.ON<\/strong> have confirmed their participation in a reduced fixed-tariff scheme aimed at benefiting consumers with lower demand.<\/p>\n\n<p>Users who pay by direct debit will now pay 24.67 pence per kWh for electricity and 5.74 pence for gas. This scenario allows for greater flexibility and competition in a market seeking to stabilize after years of extreme volatility. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofgem.gov.uk\/news\/changes-energy-price-cap-between-1-april-and-30-june-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ofgem<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy regulation in the United Kingdom marks a turning point for the second quarter of 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":340371,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-340443","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/340443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/340443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=340443"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=340443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
