Telecom Plus increases
Telecom Plus has announced price increases for both gas and electricity across all their tariffs. These increases take effect from the 1st of October for both new and existing customers, with individual notices being sent out to existing customers within the next few days. This is the second time Telecom Plus have increased their prices and this time round customers will face an average increase of 10.7% on gas and 3% on electricity.
Telecom Plus cite wholesale gas price increases as the main reason for the hefty increases. Whilst this still leaves them in a competitive situation it is worth checking out whether or not they still offer you the very best prices for your home.
Advice from Energylinx would be to carry out a new comparison to check whether or not they offer the best value for gas and electricity for your home.
