Your Charnwood Home Energy Bills Are Expected Be Around £257 Higher By January 2027

If you live in Loughborough, Shepshed, Quorn or elsewhere across Charnwood, there’s another energy price increase on the way.

And unfortunately, the October rise may only be the start.

For a local household using around the typical Loughborough amount of energy — approximately 11,432 kWh of gas and 3,108 kWh of electricity a year — the numbers look something like this:

Now: around £1,964 a year

From October: around £2,038 a year

That’s about:

£73 a year more

But Cornwall Insight is currently forecasting that energy prices could rise by a further 9% in January.

If that happens, the same household could be looking at an annualised energy cost of roughly:

£2,221 a year

That would make you around:

£257 a year worse off than today for average Charnwood households

And that is before taking into account income before employment tax to be left with

What If You're An Average UK Worker?

For an average UK PAYE employee, you'll need to earn approximately £357 before TAX, to have £257 left after TAX to pay for this increase

What If You're An High Rate Tax Band UK

For a UK High Rate PAYE employee, you'll need to earn approximately £443 before TAX, to have £257 left after to pay for this increase.

What if you’re a Basic State Pensioner (£184/week)?

You will use over one week’s extra pension money just to pay this increase!

And now OVER ten weeks basic pension to pay your £2,000+ Average Loughborough Energy Bills! Crazy Situation.

A lot fof pensioners have higher than average bills to keep their house warm, so potentailly it's even worse.

And that is before taking into account whether your household uses more energy than the local average.

So What Can You Do?

The simplest thing is:

Don't just assume your present energy deal is still the best one.

There are three questions worth asking now:

1. Am I paying more than I need to?

2. Is there a better tariff available to me?

3. Would fixing my energy price now make sense before January?

You do not need to understand tariffs, standing charges or wholesale energy markets yourself.

That is what I can help with.
