Energy bills to rise for millions as impact of Iran war hits | BBC News
Household energy prices in England, Scotland and Wales will rise by 13% a year in July, as soaring wholesale costs caused by the US-Israel war with Iran hit bills for the first time.
Regulator Ofgem says the war means a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay £221 more a year, with an annual bill of £1,862.
The cap affects millions of homes on variable tariffs and suppliers are warning it could go even higher in the colder winter months without an end to the conflict.
Energy costs have rocketed since Iran responded to US and Israeli attacks by effectively blocking the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route – a fifth of the world’s oil and gas usually flows through the waterway.

There is an “overwhelming consensus” that time spent on screens and social media harms children, the UK’s most senior doctors have said.
Responding to a government consultation about social media use for under-16s, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges said doctors should routinely ask younger patients about their screen time and social media use.
There is no consensus among the wider scientific community that screen time overall is harmful to children, but Academy Chair Jeanette Dickson said that like smoking or seatbelts before, the issue had become a “unifying force” for the profession.
Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has said new measures for under-16s will be brought in by the end of 2026.

Two battles. One defining moment for the future of AI.
In California, a high-profile courtroom clash has drawn to a close after Elon Musk accused Sam Altman of betraying OpenAI’s founding mission — a fight over whether AI should serve humanity or profit. The jury ultimately threw out Musk’s case, but not before offering a rare glimpse inside one of the world’s most powerful tech companies.
At the same time, the focus shifts thousands of miles to Beijing, where a far bigger contest is playing out — the global race to control the advanced chips that power artificial intelligence. It’s a battle shaping not just companies, but geopolitics itself.
So who really holds the power in AI — and where is it heading next? To the stars? This comes as SpaceX eyes a record-breaking IPO, which could propel Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire..
Join Presenter Christian Fraser, AI commentator and Partner at Avella Daryl Flack, Author Nina Xiang and Dr Stephanie Hare as AI Decoded unpacks a pivotal week in tech.
