Homes with better energy efficiency likely to be less impacted - Around £11 rise per year, G- Rated homes could pay £134 more per year.
Only applies if you are on a standard tariff, fixed deals won't be affected - Look at fixing your energy bill!
The price cap is the maximum level energy suppliers can charge you per unit of energy used, updated every three months.
The price cap is set at £1,720 from July to September, 7% less than the previous quarter.
From October 2025, the cap will rise 2% to £1,755, around double then the rise had been predicting.
However the amount you pay will depend on how much energy you used, as well as how you pay for bills, size and efficiency of your home.
Take a look at the average annual increase to energy bills for the October – December 2025 price cap, based on EPC rating and property type.
Property type | EPC rating A | EPC rating B | EPC rating C | EPC rating D | EPC rating E | EPC rating F | EPC rating G |
1-bed flat | £10 | £16 | £25 | £36 | £49 | £60 | £78 |
2-bed flat | £10 | £19 | £29 | £43 | £59 | £76 | £98 |
3-bed terraced house | £10 | £21 | £36 | £51 | £70 | £89 | £115 |
3-bed semi-detached house | £9 | £20 | £37 | £51 | £70 | £91 | £111 |
3-bed detached house | £9 | £23 | £40 | £56 | £76 | £97 | £129 |
4-bed semi-detached house | £12 | £25 | £46 | £65 | £91 | £128 | £158 |

5-bed detached house | £15 | £39 | £66 | £92 | £123 | £158 | £210 |
