Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at uSwitch.com, says: "Suppliers are falling like dominoes, with three of the big six having reduced their energy prices within less than two days. 

"But disappointingly for consumers, none have implemented cuts for both gas and electricity. 

"And while British Gas customers will feel the benefit immediately, EDF Energy's cuts won't come into effect until February. 

"SSE customers won't see their prices drop until the end of March - when the cold weather is likely to be coming to an end - but they will benefit from the extended guarantee that SSE won't increase prices before October 2012."
