British Gas owner Centrica has resumed payouts to shareholders as UK households come under pressure from rising energy bills.

The company said it was paying a dividend of 1.0p per share, after having suspended it for three years.

It comes as gas prices soar, fuelled by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

UK energy bills are expected to rise again in the coming months, with one consultancy warning they could hit £3,850 a year by January.
