Thus, sources in the energy industry fear that the winter will be severe enough, and millions of citizens will not be able to pay their electricity bills.

“While prices have come down, they are still a problem for many customers and further increases cannot be ruled out,” said an Energy UK spokesman.

According to him, the upcoming winter will be difficult not only for many households, but also for British businesses.

The organisation calls on the authorities to prepare a mechanism to support clients.
