This institution predicts that due to high energy prices, each household may spend about 500 pounds per month to pay for energy bills.

The British Energy Market Regulatory Agency's Natural Gas and Electric Power Market Office said on the 26th that if the government does not take measures, then from October this year, the average energy bill of British households will rise to £ 4188 a year (33,934 yuan). It is expected that after the price increase in October, the price will increase again in January next year.

The office CEO Jonathan Bridge said that the rise in energy prices will have a wide impact on families in the UK.

There are about 68 million people and 24 million families in the UK. Regulatory agencies have the upper limit of energy prices. According to factors such as energy wholesale prices, the price limit is adjusted every 3 months.

According to Reuters, nearly 30 energy retailers in the UK have closed down. Natural Gas and Electric Power Market Office said most British energy suppliers have no profit at present.

The recent inflation level in the UK has reached a 40 -year high. The Bank of England's Bank of England warns that the British economy may fall in a long -term decline.

British Finance Minister Nazim Zahawi acknowledged in an interview with the media that in the face of rising energy prices, the government lacked protection measures for the most vulnerable families. "We know we need to take more actions." (Guo Qian)
