The UK Government is looking at a plan to give households £200 towards the cost of soaring energy bills.
Ofgem will announce tomorrow how much your gas and electricity bills will be going up by in April - and it is feared the average bill will rise by 50%.
The average annual energy bill from April 1 could be £2,000.
But two energy providers have said the Government is planning to help out with a package of measures
According to The Times the scheme would involve companies passing on money from the Government to households to limit the impact of the hike.
But the money looks set to be a loan that households would have to repay.
Philippe Commaret, managing director for customers at EDF told the BBC : "Ballooning wholesale gas prices are driving energy bills up and customers need government to act now, especially to support those most in need.
"We look forward to hearing from government urgently on how it will help struggling households beyond the support energy companies already provide. Delaying action adds to the stress and anxiety households face."
