Liz Truss wrongly claims 'no-one' will pay more than £2,500 in energy bills

Liz Truss has wrongly claimed that “nobody” will pay more than £2,500 in energy bills from 1 October.

During a morning broadcast round today, 29 September, the prime minister told BBC Radio Kent and BBC Radio Leeds that the maximum amount households will pay is £2,500 under the Energy Price Guarantee.

Ms Truss also made these claims during a CNN interview.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy said that £2,500 is an “expected annual energy cost for a 3 bedroom household.”

Bills could be more or less depending on how much energy a household uses.
