ScottishPower increase online energy prices
ScottishPower has announced an increase in their online domestic electricity and gas prices, effective for new customers from the 7th December 2004.
This latest price increase comes within a week of ScottishPower announcing that they were to commence charging 135,000 gas customers who are on a non-Transco gas network an extra £40 per year. Although ScottishPower do have to pay this additional charge to the Independent Gas Transporters (IGTs) it will however net ScottishPower a further £5.4 million a year.
This latest price hike, taking into account VAT and daily service charge, where applicable, means that ScottishPower Online customers will see their gas bills increase by an average 11.46% and electricity bills by 9.64% throughout the UK.
The effect on a standard domestic consumer who consume 19,050 kWhs of gas and 3,300 kWhs of electricity, operating an online account with ScottishPower can be seen in the table below:
