Cheaper Gas and Electricity Bills from Top Providers

This winter Britain has seen the coldest weather for over thirty years and as a result, energy consumption has soared as people struggle to keep warm.

With the recent fall in wholesale gas and electricity and fears raised over the current cost of energy, especially for the most vulnerable during the recent cold spell, leading suppliers have announced cuts to their monthly bills.

Four of the ‘big six’ energy suppliers have recently announced cuts:

  • British Gas applied a 7% reduction on gas, making bills £4.58 a month cheaper.
  • Scottish and Southern Energy revealed its prices will drop by 4% on March 29th, seeing a saving of £2.50 a month.
  • Npower are set to cut gas prices by 7.1%, bringing a saving of £4.50 for dual fuel customers.
  • E.On cut gas bills by 6%, an equivalent to £3.90 a month.

Government Benefits

For those struggling to afford their monthly heating bills this winter, help may be available from the government as they currently offer cold weather payments, the boiler scrappage scheme and warm front scheme.

Alternatively it may benefit you to contact your energy provider directly and discuss your bill.
