Cornwall Insight Forecasts Lower Household Energy Bills In January
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Solar Power Portal.
This is a paragraph from the article.
The Default Tariff Cap is set by the UK’s energy regulator Ofgem as the maximum rate per unit and standing charge that can be billed to customers for their energy use. Cornwall Insight’s latest forecast predicts the cap will fall to £1,733 a year for a typical dual fuel household in the first quarter of 2026.
Consider.
- I am on a dual-fuel tariff for gas and electricity.
- At present, I pay £159 per month or £1,908 per year.
If I was on the new price cap, I’d pay £144.42 per month or about 10 % less.
The Anonymous Widower 
Only going down because gas price has dropped but the eco loons dont want to mention that and still fail to acknowledge that under the marginal ricing rules renewable generators benefit very nicely. The whole pricing system needs overhauling.

I do think two developments will bring energy prices down.
Charging electric buses is a big problem, according to a friend, who’s got a lot of experience of the industry. This could be a game changer.

And not just for buses.
I also like Highview Power’s plan for sixteen 300 MW/3.2 GWh batteries around the country both could be a game changer, with their stability island technology.

I also feel that Highview Power’s liquid air batteries, Rolls-Royce SMRs and large wind farms can work together in mixed fleets.
