We are now four months into an ongoing energy (price) crisis. At the same time as announcing the price cap will be increased by £693 (54%) to £1,971, the government announced an energy loan of £200 that, from October 2022, will either reduce bills or be given as a bill of credit. But of course, there’s a catch. For the next five years, on April 1st energy bills will be automatically increased by £40; that’s like putting a plaster on a gaping wound.
The Rumford club is a social dining and debate club with regular dinner meetings which are typically held in London. Each dinner has a keynote speaker and topic of debate.
As we begin 2022, many of us are still processing the events of 2020, let alone 2021. From an industry perspective, the current energy crisis has added fuel to the fire. Amongst our usual round ups for the year ahead, we explore what the impact of these price increases mean in financial terms, take a look at the new Green Gas Levy and provide a summary of consultations, notices, policies and upcoming legislation that may affect your business.
