Energy bills are set to rise by five per cent from April 2025, according to the latest forecasts from energy consultancy Cornwall Insight.
The increase means typical households will face annual gas and electricity costs of £1,823 during the April to June period.
Ed Miliband has called for urgent action from the energy regulator as households face rising costs.
The energy secretary has written to Ofgem demanding swift measures to protect consumers from the price increases.
It marks the third consecutive increase in the energy price cap, as global gas prices continue to climb.
The predicted increase represents an £85 rise from the current energy price cap of £1,738.
The latest forecast comes amid rising concerns over volatile international wholesale prices.
