‘Bills up again’ after E.ON hike

Posted 2008-01-28

Energy bills for some households will go up again thanks to the latest provider price hike.
The average bill for a dual fuel customer with E.On is set to rise from £913 to £1,063 say experts uSwitch.com.Its price rises are planned to come in on February 8th, when E.On, formerly Powergen, becomes the latest in a series of power companies to up prices.

Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com, said all but one of the major suppliers has upped prices in recent months. Scottish & Southern Energy has issued an assurance that its hikes would be delayed until late March.

She said: “With savings of up to £325 to be made, now is the time for consumers to really start making competition work for themselves.”

The Observer newspaper recently reported that many Britons could end up to taking out debt consolidation loans in 2008.
