Scottish and Southern are the last of the major six UK energy suppliers to announce an increase during 2008.
Energylinx believes that we will see a further increase of around 6% in energy prices across the board in latter half of 2008 as even with the recent increases the energy companies are not profiteering as wholesale energy costs continue to increase.
