This is now the third price cut we have seen in 2009 with both ScottishPower recently reducing the cost of their PriceSure Energy tariff and Good Energy reducing their entire range of prices only last week.

Energylinx are delighted with the news as it can only help those 7.5 million householders on this tariff, although to be fair these houselholders could immediately save a lot more by comparing and switching to the least cost tariff. As whilst this price cut is definitely great news those customers on the tariff are still able to save substantial sums by shopping around.

British Gas said that Demand for gas is four times higher in winter than in summer. We buy gas months before it is used so we can make sure we always have enough for our customers, and can protect them from sudden rises in wholesale prices. The recent dispute between Russia and Ukraine demonstrates how important it is that we continue to do so, as it caused a sharp rise in wholesale prices which had fallen from last year's peaks.

It is interesting to note that Russia only effectively turned back on gas supplies to the rest of Europe on Tuesday so hopefully we can see some stability introduce into the wholesale gas markets across Europe, helping sustain potential price drops in the UK.
