N Power prices not going up on all tariffs?

fossman

Just did a price comparison for my mother in law and the N Power Energy Online January 2014 tariff comes out as £200 a year cheaper than her current British Gas Standard Gas tariff.

I am assuming the comparison websites are showing the current prices so have been on both the British Gas and N Power website to see what effect the price increases will have on the tariffs and found this:

"Energy Online January 2014

Energy Online January 2014 prices won’t go up on 26 November 2012 when our standard prices change. Prices may vary in the future but annual charges will remain at a discount of at least 3% to our standard variable charges for the average dual fuel monthly Direct Debit customer until 31 January 2014."


The increased British Gas prices will cost her £50 more next year but what does the statement on the N Power website mean? Are the prices going up on this tariff or not?

It means what it says. The price will not rise on 26/11. It may go up in future, but will always be discounted by at least 3% against Standard tariff.
Almost anything will be better for her than Standard tariff-it's always the most expensive.

So they will probably increase the price on 27/11 LOL
