british gas v southern electric

deano72_2

just recently swaoed my gas provider from bg to sothern elec,phoned bg today to confirm of change but the lady said south elec are putting prices up 33% from 1st may,now shes sown doubts in mind,even if they put there prices up 33% they might still be cheaper than bg,what u think?

I don't know whrtr the 33% came from. I am a Southern Electric dual fuel customer and have the current and the post Mau figures.

Electric first 364 kWh pq up 14% others up 17%
Gas the first 1143 kWh pq up 16% others up 25%

The figures in energy helpline appear reasonablyaccurate as far as I can see.

BTW Southern has staed - no futher increases in 2006. The estra charge for customers using non Transco pipes is abolished.
