ScottishPower increases energy prices for UK domestic energy consumers
With effect from the 10th July 2006, ScottishPower has announced that it is to increase the cost of its domestic gas and electricity prices. Soaring energy prices, where wholesale costs are now roughly 80% higher than this time last year have resulted in this decision being taken.
The increases average at 10% for electricity and 17% for gas. The prices will effect existing customers from the 10th July and new customers with immediate effect.
Price comparison service, Energylinx are already displaying these new prices and it is easy to see the impact of these on your home energy bills.
There is some good news in that in parallel ScottishPower has launched a new capped price energy tariff where energy prices are capped until the 30th September 2008.
With energy prices expected to continue to increase substantially over at least the next two years Energylinx would encourage all UK consumers to look seriously at one of the capped or fixed price energy tariffs available to them.
With some analysts already predicting 300% increases in wholesale gas prices over the next two years a capped deal today could save the consumer hundreds of pounds in the long term.
One of the suppliers has a capped rate energy deal coming to its end on the 30th June and consumers who opted for this tariff two years ago are surprised to see just how much energy prices have risen in two years.
