The proportion of British households struggling with energy bills will triple in April when regulated prices look set to rise by more than 50%, the Resolution Foundation said on Monday.
Britain's government will need to spend more than 7 billion pounds this year if it wants to offset the effect of soaring energy prices for households, the think tank said.
The proportion of households spending more than 10% of their income on electricity and heating bills - a threshold used to define 'fuel poverty' in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - will triple to 27% from April, the think tank estimated. The average household energy bill is likely to rise to 2,000 pounds a year in April, the Resolution Foundation said.
