Good evening, my name is Aaron Mastani and welcome to Tisky's cell. Over the next hour,

we'll be bringing you the biggest stories that matter. Tonight, I have the pleasure of

being joined by Harriet, Brother O. Saltani. Harriet, I trust you well. Oh, I well, thanks Aaron.

How's life in Wales? Is it extra sunny up there today? Apparently so, which your camera people

take in the mic out of? It's a nice problem to have. It's not going to stay with us for much

longer, I fear. We've got a lot to talk about and it's relating actually to deteriorating weather,

winter, energy, so we'll get to that. From October, the average household can now expect to pay

over £3.5,000 per year for energy. That's because today, off-gem have raised energy price caps again,

substantially more than many of the predictions we've seen in the last few weeks.

This new figure, over £3.5,000 per year, is an 80% increase on the April cap of almost £2,000 per

year and it's almost three times as much as we were paying in October last year. It's completely out

of control and it's set to get even worse. Off-gem is warned that prices will continue to rise

throughout next year. In January, the current prediction is that the average household bill

will rise to nearly £5.5,000 per year and it'll jump again in April 2023 to over £6,000. That's more

than five times what we were paying in October last year. We should say that not everybody will be

paying this amount in October. If you're in a single or small, average household, you'll pay less

and if you're in a bigger household, you can pay more but you can still expect your bills to go

up by the same proportion whoever you are. If you're in a larger house like I say,

things aren't great but we're all going to suffer. The Joseph Rowan Tree Foundation has released

their report that's worth showing you precisely for this reason. This graph shows how much bills

are going to be as a proportion of household income after housing costs have been paid.

Low-income households will spend four and a half times more for energy next year than they
