Energy giants British Gas and German owned npower have announced they are raising their gas and electricity prices by 6% and 9% respectively. (or should that be disrespectfully)
The changes will come into effect in November and will affect 11 million people in the UK, with both British Gas and npower blaming the rising cost of bringing gas into the UK and higher government green charges for the increase, and even added that prices could go even higher next year.
Given the current economic climate I think most people understand that it’s harder for companies to make money and prices may rise as a means of counterbalancing this fact, but 6% and 9% shows that both companies are completely out of touch and are just being greedy and raising their prices this much simply because they can.
