Energy bills for most households in Britain are set to decrease by £122 to an average of £1,568 a year starting July 1. This reduction comes after Ofgem lowered the price cap in response to wholesale prices, aiming to provide relief to millions of households. Despite the decrease, the UK's reliance on gas continues to keep energy bills around £450 higher than pre-crisis levels. The drop in the price cap is expected to be temporary, with a potential rise again in October.
