All the government outrage over EDF Energy’s announcement of a rise in its dual fuel standard tariff in June on top of the rise imposed on March 1st becomes synthetic under close scrutiny. E.on, npower, ScottishPower and SSE all announced price rises of 7-10% in March or April. The March price rise for EDF was 1.2% and the rise in June will be 7.2%. Which add up to a rounded 8½%, so EDF is no worse than the rest of the bunch.
Where’s the other member of the Big Six? British Gas has frozen its dual fuel standard tariff until August. The eyes of its customers will start watering then.
