Its already mentioned this morning on the news that this is the start of the suppliers negating Ed Millibands threat of a price freeze by huge rises over the next two years before a Labour or Labour/Libdem alliance gets voted in.

Can I ask why?

Hi,

although there would've been the usual pre winter increases, they might be a bit bigger now to mitigate any price freeze in the future.

I think Ed Milliband has shot himself in the foot, he'll find out at next election.

They usually are. I can not remember the last time another company came out first.

How about SP in 2010 and 2011, and SSE last year and this year?!

The only time BG were first out of the blocks in the last 4 years was to LOWER prices in feb 2012.

How odd maybe british gas was the first one I heard about in the previous years. Only way I can explain it.

What choice do energy firms have when you look at the reasons why?

SSE said that for a typical dual-fuel customer, wholesale energy prices had gone up 4%, paying to use delivery networks was 10% more expensive, and government levies were 13% higher.

We need to face it folks the era of cheap fuel is over, gone we are in a world market where the price we pay for fuel is better than average compared to our Euro neighbours.
