This action is vital ahead of Ofgem’s new price cap, which comes into force on Wednesday, July 1. Without an up-to-date meter reading, approximately 5.3 million households risk facing higher energy bills than necessary once the price cap adjusts. This group primarily includes those on standard tariffs without smart meters, underscoring the importance of manual meter submissions.
