    It looks like they have introduced a new fixed deal until 2011. but i assume the starting point will be the prices just announced.

    They've not updated the clickenergy 5 prices online yet. Will these also go up by 35% and 9%?

    Can anyone work out the price increase for this tarrif compared to click energy 5 at the new rates, it's all very confusing.

    Looks like it will be a 25% rise for dual fuel, according to the press statement.

    Crafty move for British Gas for rushing in this new 'Fixed Price 2011' tariff, obviously cashing in on today's surge of take-ups for fixed/capped rates.

    With the ever-rising energy prices, why are they so keen to lock customers in for such a long time right now ? You can bet its not for anything other than their OWN good.
    Are they actually forecasting a future drop in prices - perhaps not for the next year or so, but after that ?
