Energy firm Npower has announced that electricity prices for its domestic customers will rise by 12.7%, while gas bills will see a 17.2% increase.
Npower, the UK's fourth-largest energy provider, said it had been "forced to put up prices" because of soaring wholesale energy costs.
It said it expected rival energy providers to follow suit with their own price rises "very shortly".
Npower's four million customers will pay the higher prices from 5 January.
