VOICED : El tope tarifario de la energía en Reino Unido subirá un 80% en octubre

The energy price cap for UK households will increase by 80% in October due to rising global gas prices, raising annual costs from £1,971 to approximately £4,180. This increase threatens to exacerbate inflation, which reached 10.1% in July, the highest in four decades. The cap is based on average wholesale gas prices from previous months. Experts predict the cap could exceed $4,730 in January and $7,096 in spring under pessimistic forecasts. Consequently, the regulator has urged the government to provide urgent assistance. Meanwhile, the UK is set to announce a new Prime Minister to succeed Boris Johnson on September 5.
