This may include adverts from us and 3 rd parties based on our understanding. Since January, gas prices have skyrocketed, last week alone saw gas prices increase by 33 percent, according to National Grid's data. As a result, large energy suppliers have had to pass their clients over to small companies like British Gas and EDF Energy through the supplier of Last Resort SOLR system.

The latest casualties are 100 percent renewable energy provider Pure Planet and Colorado Energy, which had a combined total of 250,000 clients. The SOLR system ensures that no interruptions have occurred to the gas supply of the 1.7 million homes passing to a bigger company. This month - the annual price cap is set to rise from 1,138 to 1,277 for a typical household, this figure was calculated by reviewing inflation over the last six months - however, everyday gas prices are going to increase. British Gas and EDF Energy are among the suppliers that are expected to charge the top rate.

Some major companies are not accepting any more customers because of overwhelming demand and short supply as more and more customers are being transferred to them.

Energy companies are calling on ministers to bring forward the next increase in the wholesale cost of electric power set by Ofgem energy regulator so that companies can raise tariff prices to a level that reflects the government energy price cap. Currently the cap is not set to rise until April. Pure Planet released this statement: The Government and Ofgem expects Pure Planet to sell energy at a price much less than it costs to buy right now. This is unsustainable, and so sadly we have had to make the difficult decision to stop trading. One customer lamented the company s closure on Twitter. They wrote: I'm a Pure Planet customer and I'm gutted for them and me that their service is absolutely brilliant It would've taken enormous price saving to make me move away from them.

As winter is near the corner and demand for energy increases, it is expected that more and more energy companies will go under, and bills will rise exponentially over the next year. Neil Lawrence, director of retail at regulator Ofgem, said: "Ofgem s number one priority is to protect customers. '' We know that this is a worrying time for many people and the news of a supplier going out of business can be unsettling. I want to reassure affected customers that they do not need to worry: under our safety net we will make sure your energy supply continues. He added: We will contact you when we have chosen a new supplier, who will then get in touch with your tariff. Any customer who has to pay their energy bill should contact their supplier to access the range of support options available. Despite Ofgem's assurance that household s fuel supply will not be affected, they cannot ensure that Britons' pockets won t be affected. What's your opinion?
