Cheap Energy Tariffs -Government Promise


Good news for consumers as David Cameron announced yesterday at PMQ’s (prime ministers questions) that the Energy Bill will compel companies by law to guarantee customers the best deal.
Good news indeed, I have never really understood why wholesale prices of Gas and Electricity are lower but consumers are being charged even higher prices. The same applies to petrol, crude oil is lower but pump prices remain high, Why?
What we really need is to know exactly what the price of a unit of electricity or gas is or how it is calculated, so we can compare each company’s price – in other words transparency. The other thing we need is to make it easier to switch suppliers – have you tried to compare tariffs lately? Why can’t we shop for energy like we shop at Tesco and Sainsbury and see the price on the shelf.
I am really looking forward to this Government Energy Bill, are you?
