It looks like our annual energy bills are going to soar even higher.
Quote:
Households will have to deal with even bigger increases in energy bills this year if all six big suppliers follow the lead set by Scottish Power.
Its 2.4 million customers will pay an extra 19% for gas and 10% for electricity from August 1st and other suppliers are expected to follow suit.
The other main suppliers, including nPower , E.On and EDF have told Sky News that their prices are constantly under review.
However British Gas has warned that wholesale energy prices are expected to rise by a further 25% this winter and that "end user prices are yet to reflect this".
Research by uSwitch.com suggests that if all suppliers increase their prices in line with Scottish Power it will add £180 to average household bills this year on top of last winter's wave of price rises that added £63 to annual bills.
