Age Concern Energy, the partnership between Age Concern and Powergen has announced an increase in energy prices.
This latest increase is effective for new customers with effect from the 5th January 2005.
This is the third major supplier increase announced in 2005 and although this will not effect existing Powergen Age Concern customers at this time it is a timely reminder that the predictions of sharp increases in energy prices during 2005 are fast becoming a reality.
