    I don't know why they couldn't just say that energy usage for a typical household, say 12000 kWh is capped, and anything over that is at the current market rate. So the typical household would still have an annual bill of £2500 and people would be more inclined to keep a check on there actual usage if the cost doubles afterwards!
    it's not typical household, it's average usage between families in 3 bed houses+ and singletons in studios and 1 bed flats
    No, it's a 'typical household' in the sense of being approximately the median usage of all households (with data from extremely low use cases ignored, with the intention of ignoring empty properties I believe).
    I don't how you can call a single person living in 1 bed flat a typical household, or a 5 family member one. 
    I didn't  :).
