Ofgem, the major energy regulator set up by Watchdog in 2019, has been a hero for the people of Britain. By making sure energy prices are stable and fair for all, it has been a protector of the population.
Unfortunately, due to the recent global rise in fuel prices, many energy providers have had to exit the market. Since the start of 2021, 31 providers have called it quits.
This leftover two million customers clambering to find a good deal from a limited choice of providers. This, along with the cost of living crisis, has forced Ofgem to introduce new measures to protect suppliers and consumers.
Previously reviewed every 6 months, Ofgems price cap means households could relax knowing their bills were not due to change for quite some time. The price cap is now set to be reviewed quarterly to keep up with the drastic changes in cost and circumstances. This means the public now only has a 3-month window before their bills could climb drastically. This comes at a time when many people are already feeling the sting of the rising cost of living.
Prices are expected to rise by up to 82% in the first review month, October. Prices are then expected to double in the reviews after. This has caused mass panic for many households already struggling with their bills.

Heat your Home
As we begin to approach the cold, Autumn season, many people will begin to switch their heating back on. If you’ve got a fireplace on your property, hold fire and consider using it as your main source of heat instead.
Here are County Logs and Coal, we supply only the best hardwood Beech logs for your fires. Considered among the most supreme hardwood logs in the world, Beech firewood is perfect for indoor heating.
They’re easy to clean up as they produce little soot, and produce an amazing aroma. They’re denser than other wood and some people choose to split the logs in half. This means a bag typically lasts longer, giving more time in between restocking. They also reach higher temperatures fast and burn for much longer than other wood.
On average in the UK, heating makes up for over half of a household’s energy bill each month. By heating your home from your fireplace, even if it’s just for the evening, you will be saving on your energy bill. Check out our Beech selection here.
Bake with Beech
Hardwood logs aren’t just good for the fireplace. Beech hardwood is great for cooking too.
