We’re increasing our energy prices on our Standard and Safeguard tariffs
On the 1st October, the price of gas and electricity on our Standard and Safeguard tariffs will be increasing for customers with credit meters.
We’re increasing our prices to reflect the rising cost of supplying energy to your home. We appreciate that price rises are never welcome, so this isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. If you’re currently on a fixed term tariff then this increase won’t impact you.
We will be writing to all customers affected providing full details of the price increase. You can also log in to your account to check your current tariff and see what options are available to you. It’s easy to switch to one of our alternative tariffs and you won’t need to pay an exit fee.
For more information please read our Frequently Asked Questions.
Our pay as you go Standard and Safeguard PAYG tariff prices both gas and electricity are changing from 1st October
On the 1st October, our pay as you go prices for both gas and electricity on our Standard and Safeguard PAYG tariffs will be increasing.
Earlier this year prepayment prices across the energy industry were capped by Ofgem (the energy regulator) to limit how much you pay for energy. Ofgem review the cap every six months and following their latest change, we’ve adjusted prices to bring them in line with the cap.
We will communicate with all customers affected providing full details of the price increase.
For more information please read our Frequently Asked Questions for pay as you go customers.
