• Our gas and electricity prices are changing

  • Atlantic Atlas landing

  • Our Standard gas and electricity prices will increase on 11 July 2018

    We’ve done our best to keep our energy prices as low as we can in recent years. But due to the continued rise in the costs associated with supplying energy, we’ve had to take the difficult decision to increase our gas and electricity prices.

    What this means for you

    Our Standard GB domestic gas and electricity prices will go up by an average of 6.7%1. That’s equivalent to an increase of around £1.46 a week for a typical dual fuel customer2. Also, if you’ve got paperless billing the annual £6 discount per fuel will no longer apply.

    We sent you a letter to explain exactly what this means for you, so look out for it in your post.

    You won't be affected by this price increase if:

    • You have a Pay As You Go meter OR
    • You’re on our Energy Assist tariff

    If you're not sure what your current energy tariff is, check your latest bill or log into your online account.

    Ways we can help you save money

  • Pay by Direct Debit

    If you pay by a regular Direct Debit already, we'll review it as part of this price change. We'll write to you if we need to make any changes to what you pay.

    If you're not paying by a regular monthly Direct Debit, switching to this payment option is an easy way to save you up to £803 a year. Our most popular way to pay saves you £40 per fuel3 and lets you spread your costs. Plus you'll know exactly how much you're paying each month. If Direct Debit isn't right for you, take a look at all our payment methods.

    Think about getting a smart meter

    Saving money is much easier when you can see how much energy you’re actually using. With a smart meter installed, you can keep track of what it's costing in pounds and pence, which means you can stay in control of the energy you're using every day.
