Energy firms E.On and Scottish and Southern Energy are to raise gas and electricity prices by up to 29%.
E.On said it would up its gas prices by 26% and electricity bills by 16% on 22 August for domestic customers.
Scottish and Southern followed a few hours later by announcing a 29.2% increase in gas bills, with electricity tariffs up by 19.2% on 25 August.
Both blamed an increase in wholesale costs for the latest rises - the second in a year.
