Any Eon rep want to explain why no gas reduction?

Vestra

Yes would one of the Eon reps let us know why gas has gone up 26% in August but not come down anything?

Seeing that natural gas is linked to the price of oil, it seems a very odd decision.

I would like to hear more than the usual waffle, I want hard facts.

Hi everyone,

1carminestocky is correct, we do only work office hours.

Quite a few of you have now posted comments and questions about our announcement yesterday, so I’ll try to answer as much as I can.

The reason that our price reduction is only for electricity is that we’ve already been amongst the cheapest out there for gas during the winter, when people need it most. And although British Gas dropped their gas prices by 10%, it really only brought them into line with what ours have been for months.

Most people’s gas usage is highest in winter and lowest in the summer, whereas for electricity we use a similar amount all year round. So we’ll all benefit by the electricity prices coming down now because we don’t use so much gas from March onwards anyway.

We might be able to drop prices further in future if the wholesale prices carry on coming down.


Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

I beg to differ, looking at my Eon tariff online v12 and BG websaver on my postcode, They are similar or cheaper than you now, before the price cut.
