Navigating the 2024 Energy Price Surge: Ofgem's Insights and the Role of Energy-Efficient Appliances

The energy landscape is constantly evolving, influenced by various factors such as global events, market dynamics, and regulatory changes. On the 1st January 2024, Ofgem announced an increase in their energy prices, taking the annual energy price cap from £1,834 to £1,928.  According to the energy regulator, this increase is due to the cost of wholesale gas, which has gone up in recent months, due to world events including the conflict in the Middle East.

This increase in the price cap may however, have significant implications for consumers, impacting their household bills and overall financial well-being.  But how can we reduce our cost of energy?

Last year, we put together a guide on how to save money with energy efficient appliances. This year, we re-evaluate the current rise in energy prices and its impact on consumers. 

The 2024 Ofgem report emphasises the need for individuals (and businesses) to adopt a proactive approach in managing their energy consumption. This is where the role of energy-efficient appliances comes into play.  

Smart technology can also help us save pennies. Through the Home Smart App, you can conveniently monitor your appliances using your smart device.  If you forget to turn off an appliance - turn it off from the Home Smart app.  Or start washes during low demand hours where energy prices are set to be less.  The Home Connect app adds a new level of control and convenience to your daily life.

Many new appliance models also have energy-saving modes and eco-options helping you to choose the best programme so you can weigh up the need vs the cost to best benefit you.   And when you pop in-store at Joe Graham and Son, or visit our website, you can see the energy rating for many of our latest appliances.

Ultimately, upgrading your appliances can lead to long-term cost savings and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
