Further energy price increases
Scottish & Southern Energy will increase it’s gas prices by an average of 15.8 per cent and it’s electricity prices by an average of 14.2 per cent.
Npower, British Gas, EDF Energy, E.On and Scottish Power have already increased their prices so Scottish and Southern Energy are the last of these bigger suppliers to do so; the increases will come into effect from 1st April 2008.
Yet again the increasem in prices has been blamed on the rise in wholesale gas and electricity prices. This is more bad news for homeowners having to stretch their monthly finances even further.
