Plea for households to read energy meter as prices rise

Households across the UK are being urged to read their energy meters as the latest price cap from regulator Ofgem takes effect, driving a 13% annual increase in energy costs. The plea comes as consumers face higher bills, with the new cap raising prices for millions of households. Experts advise that submitting accurate meter readings can help ensure customers are billed correctly and avoid overpaying during this period of rising energy costs.
