Martin Lewis says UK households can slash energy bills by 7% ‘in 5 days' | Personal Finance | Finance

Martin Lewis says UK households can slash their energy bills by 7% within just five working days if they “act now”.The advice comes after household energy bills increased by 1.2% this month as Ofgem’s new price cap came into effect on January 1.The increase means that the typical energy bill for homes in England, Scotland and Wales has now gone up from £1,717 a year to £1,738 - around £1.75 extra per month.An extra £1.75 each month may not sound like much but the increase comes on top..
