- Citizens Advice helped almost 60,000 households struggling to resolve problems with their energy bills last year – the equivalent of one person every two working minutes.
The charity said the figure was an increase of almost 20% on 2023 and double the number of 2020.
Billing issues were the single most common type of issue that Citizens Advice consumer service advisers encountered, it said.
It has urged Ofgem to do more to protect customers as soaring energy costs drive billing issues, with the average household having to absorb a 1.2% increase to their bill as of January 1 and another 3% hike forecast from April.

- A murderer told a judge to "go f*** yourself" after he was jailed for life for killing a defenceless pub-goer in a "cowardly attack". Kelvin Evans, 64, was left gravely ill in hospital after being attacked by Christopher Cooper outside The Station Hotel in Gorseinon in May last year and died a month later.
Cooper admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming Mr Evans had been the aggressor and had threatened to "glass" his girlfriend over her performance at the karaoke machine - though he refused to give evidence to the jury at Swansea Crown Court. During a trial in November prosecution barrister Andrew Jones KC called Cooper's claims "ludicrous" and "an insult to everyone’s intelligence". The 39-year-old was convicted of murder and his partner, 54-year-old Tracy Francis, was convicted of assisting an offender for her role in trying to cover up the killing.
