The energy price cap is set to fall after this weekend. Ofgem confirmed that it will drop the cap from £1,690 to £1568 from July 1 - an overall price drop of £122. However, it's important to note that the price cap is not a hard limit on what customers will pay each month.
Instead, it is a cap on the full price that energy companies can charge to use their service as well as per unit of energy used in each household. This means your bills could be lower or higher depending on how much you use.

These rates may also vary depending on your energy contract and which region you live in. Below we've broken down each region's average rates across the UK.

Jon Burlingame Just as he did for Yorgos Lanthimos‘ “Poor Things,” English composer Jerskin Fendrix has supplied an offbeat, musically provocative score for Lanthimos’ new film, “Kinds of Kindness” — except this time it’s all piano and choir instead of the strange, electronically processed sonorities of “Poor Things.” “Kinds of Kindness” was even more challenging, Fendrix tells Variety.
