UK household energy bills to hit £3,000 per year
All types of household energy bill are now heading above £3,000 a year this winter, figures seen by the BBC show.

The rise is 7% more than the latest cost of living support package from the government, announced six weeks ago.
The government said: "We do not recognise these figures but government and Ofgem keep a close watch on energy prices."
National Energy Action said there are "few signs of energy prices becoming affordable this winter".
The bleak prediction comes as households are already struggling with rising food and fuel prices.
Every UK household is to get an energy bill discount of £400 this October, whilst poorest households will also get a payment of £650.
But adding to the uncertainty are the resignations of the Chancellor and health secretary which are drawing ministers attention inward and away from any economic rescue plan.
Squeeze
The £3,000 household bill figure, seen by the BBC, is £200 higher than predicted by energy watchdog Ofgem in May.
Bills had already risen by £700 on average in April, with a further squeeze on incomes from the rising cost of living, as inflation hit 9.1% - the highest in 40 years.
While the official figure for the energy price cap is due to be announced next month by Ofgem, the period over which it is assessed is now almost complete.
In recent weeks, the price paid for gas to be delivered this winter has increased even more sharply. In recent days, the price paid per therm of gas has reached above £4, compared with an average so far of £2.60.
Huge sums
The figures seen by the BBC have been calculated using the same methodology announced by Ofgem.
It means that on average, dual fuel users paying by direct debit face a bill of £3,018 per year.
A household using the same amount of energy but paying by prepayment meter would be charged £3,048 per year.
And for those paying the entire bill on receipt, the bill for average energy use would be £3,147.
The last, most expensive way of paying a bill is assuming more importance, say industry sources: some customers are reducing or cancelling their direct debit payments now, building up huge sums to repay in winter.
