英國的電媒費大幅加價，早前Ofgem公佈了4月份的數據，並非2月時初宣佈加價時所說的增加50%。由數據內可見，大部分加價超出50%（觀看數據）。
Energy price cap 能源收費上限
所以基本上，即使能源收費上限設定為£1971（每年），但假如使用比上限更多的能源，仍會被收取更高的費用。計算方法將會是如下：
| 22年4月前 （以每度計算） | 22年4月後 （以每度計算） | |
| 電力 | £0.21 | £0.28 |
| 媒氣 | £0.04 | £0.07 |
轉用Variable rate更便宜
現時英國所有的能源公司均拒絕接受新客戶，過往使用價格較穩定的 Fixed rate （固定合約）的市民，現時使用 Variable rate 反而更便宜，因為每度電/媒已設定上限，不能多收。所以要省錢的話，還是要節約使用能源。
Octopus Energy 向客戶送出電熱氈
英國主要能源公司Octopus Energy 非常貼心，向客戶送出電熱氈為客戶省錢和保暖。這張電熱氈是尺寸120 x 160 cm 可雙人使用，這款電熱氈在Amazon 購買價值£40。
有需要人士優先
由於Octopus Energy只提供5000張免費電熱氈，所以將以經濟上有需要的人士優先。客戶可以透過公司網頁的『online assistance tool』領取。
電熱氈能省錢
根據Uswitch 的資料顯示，以每度電來計算每天使用電熱氈1小時，1星期的用量只須花費£1.96。包裹著坐在梳化/床上看書看電視，的確無須開暖氣，真是省錢又實用。如未能獲取電熱氈的各位，不仿考慮一下購買一張。
