Even people on incomes of £45,000 are likely to need help with rising energy prices, Nadhim Zahawi says.
In his interview with the Telegraph, Mr Zahawi said he was also concerned about those who are not on benefits.
The price of electricity will rise on average from 28p per kilowatt hour to 52p and gas will go up from 7p to 15p per kWh Mr Zahawi said the options being drawn up for the next prime minister to consider included an increase in benefits and a loan scheme for energy suppliers to stop them having to pass costs on to consumers.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats have criticised the government for failing to respond to the growing crisis. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said the energy price cap rise was "nothing short of a catastrophe for millions of families and pensioners". Asked about the issue, Mr Zahawi said: "The reality is that we should all look at our energy consumption."
