Energy suppliers must provide 30 days advance notice of price increases

Ofgem has today confirmed new rules that mean energy suppliers must give consumers at least 30 days advance notice before putting up their prices.

The changes come into effect on 28 April 2011. This means that suppliers have 30 days in which to put these changes into practice.

Andrew Wright, Ofgem's Senior Partner for Markets, said Today's changes will again show that we are serious about making sure suppliers play it straight with consumers. We believe that 30 days advance notification of price increases, coupled with our new proposals for more transparency and an end to complex tariffs, will give consumers more power to make informed switching choices.

Currently energy suppliers have up three months in which to notify consumers after putting up their prices. Ofgem's changes mean that suppliers will have to give 30 days advance notice of any price increases. This new rule also applies to any changes to a contract which will leave the customer significantly worse off. Ofgem also recently reminded suppliers that when they write to each individual customer to inform them of such changes they must be able to explain how it will affect them specifically.

This reform builds on Ofgem's proposals published last week following its review into the retail energy market. Ofgem is overhauling the market to tackle poor supplier behaviour, sweep away confusing tariffs and break the stranglehold of the Big Six on the energy market.

Energylinx would encourage all customers to immediately to call 0800 849 7077 or log onto any of the links below whenever they are provided with notice of a price increase.

Customers can save hundreds of pounds literally within a few minutes using the Energylinx 100% free and totally impartial service.

SSE launches iPhone app

We are hearing through various channels that SSE have launched an iPhone App designed to allow customers to check their energy accounts, submit meter readings and even pay bills

Apparently 2,000 existing customers have downloaded the App within the first month of launch. At the time of writing Energylinx has not had time to review the App itself but once we put it through its paces we will provide an overview as to how it compare with other energy supplier iPhone Apps

For those customers without an iPhone it is also rumoured that SSE are shortly to be launching an Android version.

Energylinx would encourage customers to continually review energy prices to ensure that they are on the best tariff to suit their needs, with energy prices continuing to rise throughout 2011 it may just be services like Apps that make all the difference.
