Powergen increase domestic gas and electricity prices
As a direct result of rising wholesale costs, Powergen has today announced that its domestic gas and electricity prices are being increased by 24.4% and 18.4% respectively.
Powergen joins the likes of British Gas, EDF Energy and ScottishPower who have announced domestic energy price increases during 2006.
2006 has already been a difficult year for all energy suppliers and already this year we have seen two domestic suppliers cease trading, Zest4 and Basic Power.
Energylinx is not surprised by this latest increase and although not welcome it is a reflection of how the wholesale energy market is faring.
'Over the next two years we believe that these double digit increases will become the norm as opposed to the exception.'
Given what has been happening in the domestic energy market recently, Energylinx would advise all customers regardless what supplier they are with to carry out a free independent energy price check as soon as possible. More than any time previously it is now definitely worth considering a fixed or capped price energy deal and this new capped price tariff from Powergen is definitely worth considering.
Domestic customers can either carry out a search for free using the most comprehensive energy calculators available in the UK by logging onto any of the following links or call Energylinx on 0800 849 7077 for a personalised quote. Energylinx will then send you a detailed domestic energy quote.
Energylinx is currently the only energy price comparison service, accredited by energywatch, that actually allow you to view and transfer to every single tariff available to your home.
