Energy bill increase 'not as bad as feared'

The increases seen on many people's energy bills this month may not be as high as they had feared, according to one expert.

Lesley Tudor-Snodin, spokeswoman for National Energy Action, said that while some consumers may be concerned about facing high bills this month, the cost may be lower than they are anticipating.

Although the UK was gripped by cold weather in late December and January, the temperatures in October, November and early December were milder than usual, meaning some people did not turn their heating on until later, she explained.

As a result of this, Ms Tudor-Snodin believes that although people have been using more energy to keep warm in the latter part of the winter "bills may not be greatly different to this time last year".

Her comments follow the estimates from moneysupermarket.com that the average annual fuel bill could increase by as much as £123 if a household's fuel consumption doubled in the three weeks from December 3rd 2009.
