Uswitch comments on energy providers price rise announcements
Sarah Broomfield, energy expert at Uswitch.com, said:
“British Gas was the first of the Big Six to react to Ofgem’s increase in the energy price cap, and now more suppliers have followed suit.
“Default tariff customers at EDF, E.ON, Scottish Power and Npower will see bills increase by an average of £96 from 1st April.
“Other energy companies are likely to announce similar price rises in the coming days and weeks, so now is a good time to act to keep your bills down.
“There are plenty of fixed deals available now that can protect you right now from market volatility.
“The best value fixed deal currently available on the market is £945 from Avro Energy[1], while the new price cap will sit at £1,138 for typical usage. This means that by switching, households could save themselves £193 across their annual energy bills.”
