Gas prices to fall by 15%
Guy on BBC Watchdog is predicting cost of gas to fall by 15% by spring at the latest.
(Also mentioned that there should be no further increase in electricity for the time being)
Whatever happened to that predicted 70% price increase everyone was talking about by the end of this year (prior to last price rise of about 30%-40% on average)? Was that just a ruse to keep people sweet when that 30-40% price rise happened? Or something to entice those waverer's to sign up to a fixed price deal (often with a penalty clause attached for early cancellation)?

I suspect the reason for the fall in the collapse of the global economy which has led to a reduction in demand which then leds to a fall in price.IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.
