Energy Price Cap Rise: what to do… and why we pay more than the rest of Europe

Energy Price Cap Rise: what to do… and why we pay more than the rest of Europe

The energy price cap, which determines prices for two-thirds of homes will rise by 6.4% in April… yet some people will see rises of up to 9%. In this pod Martin Lewis looks at what it means for you, and how do you beat it.

Former head of strategy at BP, Professor Nick Butler - who is now visiting professor at the policy institute at Kings College London - explains why UK energy prices are so much higher than Europe, the problems with the way the price cap is set, and the impact of green energy on our bills.

Plus, a warning on pay-by-app, a pension-themed Mastermind, and the Tell Us is about the most shocking, horrifying, unexpected bill you’ve ever received.

And there are tips on childcare costs and the scourge of council tax debt collection. There’s also urgent advice on how to cut the cost of train tickets, and what Martin told MPs this week about Lifetime ISAs.
