Industry leaders said the ceiling could be raised again to 2. 2,400 in October as suppliers pass on the cost of raising wholesale prices. 2 Energy bills could reach ρες 5,000 by the fall thanks to the war in UkrainePist: Getty But the chancellor said it was too early to say what would happen – as he acknowledged that “I can not eliminate every problem”. The energy price ceiling has already jumped 700 700 to almost £ 2,000 in early April – but is set to rise again if prices remain high in the summer. A Whitehall source suggested that the ceiling could be more than doubled again. They told the Daily Mail: “It could be between 00 1,500 and 000 5,000, depending on the extent to which the war is affecting gas supplies.” But last night government experts slapped the extraordinarily high proposals as “nonsense”. The regulator and the officials of the Ministry of Operations recognized the shocking elements. Last night the chancellor said it was too early to say what would happen in the future. He said on a trip to Darlington: “None of us sitting here know what the price ceiling will be in the fall – energy prices are very volatile, they go up and down. “It would not be right for us to stand up now and say, ‘Well, that’s going to happen, we just do not know.’ “But we always said we were ready to support people as needed.” He added about the government measures that have already been implemented: “Do they solve the whole problem? Of course they do not. “I would be wrong to lie if I said I could, but we provide significant help with energy bills and more to come.”
