00:09Electricity is priced at 25.33 pence per kilowatt hour, with a standing charge of 58.65 pence.

00:17For Leeds households, that means another small rise in energy costs this quarter.

00:22The latest rise follows Ofgem's quarterly review, which sets the maximum amount energy suppliers can charge for each unit of energy.

00:37That works out as roughly £35 extra a year compared to the previous cap.

00:43Even with the increase, bills remain around £625 lower than they were at the height of the energy crisis in early 2023.

00:51Ofgem says the change reflects higher costs of transporting energy across the network, as operators adjust prices to keep supply stable.
