Price comparison site, moneysupermarket.com, has just released new research that indicates that Brits are about to face their heftiest ever energy bills. We all know that the cost of gas and electricity went up and down quite a bit last year. The end result? Consumers are going to end up paying through the nose.

The startling research shows that average winter energy bills are expected to have almost doubled since 2003. Moneysupermarket.com explains that average bills have risen from just over £200 to in excess of £600. However, there are many things you can do to try to cut down on your bill.
