British Gas reduces domestic energy prices

With wholesale gas prices radically reducing over the last few months suppliers such as British Gas have come under pressure to pass on these reductions to their customer base.
Energylinx welcomes this move and have carried out some additional analysis to allow you to see the overall effect of these reductions:
