ScottishPower has today become the third big six supplier to reduce its standard gas prices, lowering its tariff by 4.8% from 20 February. Commenting on the announcement, Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at Uswitch.com, says: “Whilst it’s great to see another supplier cutting prices, single digit price reductions fall short of the double digit fall in wholesale energy prices.
“ScottishPower has also launched a new fixed-term dual fuel deal for £930 a year – over £230 cheaper than its reduced standard plan – so customers should shop around to check that they are on the best tariff.
“All eyes will now be firmly on EDF, npower and SSE to follow the lead of E.ON, British Gas and ScottishPower, and cut their standard prices to help hard-pressed consumers with energy bills this winter.”
