EDF Energy has said average gas and
electricity price will rise by 3.9%.
The company, one of the UK's big six energy suppliers, is the latest
provider to raise bills, but it says its rise is “half” that of its rivals.
This just proves that
energy companies take the piss because all of them so far have announced rises of more than double the 3.9% rise EDF are planning.
Either EDF deliberately
delayed announcing a rise to under-cut its rivals and seem quite reasonable, or,
and this is what I suspect is the real reason, they’ve watched as the others
have hiked prices, seen the massive negative reaction and thought hmm this year
we won’t be able to get away with robbing people blind, let’s ease off a bit
and make ourselves look the best of a bad, bad bunch.
The gentleman burglar if
you will.
