Uswitch responds to British Gas’ energy market proposals
Commenting on Centrica’s package of proposals to reform the energy market, Richard Neudegg, Head of Regulation at Uswitch.com, says: “These initiatives by British Gas have the potential to effect positive change for its customers, if it makes it easier for them to make choices about their energy. However, what remains to be seen is if customers rolled onto a new fixed deal with British Gas end up finding themselves on another poor value standard tariff by another name.
“Energy customers looking to save the most money should carry out a comparison of tariffs from other suppliers – there are savings of up to £491 on offer.
“British Gas joins a line up of many of the big six now looking to move away from Standard Variable Tariffs. Competition in the energy market is driving forward progress for all consumers, and the Government must be careful not to halt positive initiatives in going blindly for heavy-handed price regulation.”
