Most energy companies are increasing the price of gas by 18% and electricity by 11%.
However, the rises are not anywhere near as high in other european countries where the energy suppliers are based.
The increases in other European countries:
Spain: Gas: Nil Electricity: 1.5% Owns ScottishPower (SSE)
France: Gas: Nil Electricity: 3% Owns EDF Energy
Germany: Gas: 11% Electricity: Nil Owns N Power
Italy: Gas: Nil Electricity: Nil
UK watchdogs are concerned that foreign-owned energy companies are putting up UK prices to subsidise prices in their own country.
Wholesale Gas prices are a THIRD LOWER than in 2008 so why are we getting PRICE RISES?.
