moneysupermarket.com: Further price cuts from British Gas

Commenting on British Gas announcing further price cuts today to its online product, Click Energy 2, Paul Schofield, head of utilities at price comparison website moneysupermarket.com said:

“British Gas strikes back and is now the cheapest dual fuel tariff available with the average bill now at £752. Following Scottish and Southern Energy’s price drop today, British Gas turns up the heat with a further four per cent cut on its online tariff, the Click Energy 2 product, available from Friday, March 2, 2007.

“With energy suppliers continuing to undercut each other at every turn, I doubt this will be the last we hear from the big six providers. More cuts in the market will mean greater competition and reduced bills for the consumer.”

moneysupermarket.com is making a stand to help people ditch their expensive power companies and get the cheapest energy deal by offering £30 cash-back to all customers swapping to a dual fuel tariff through its service. Those not going for a dual fuel tariff but changing a provider or tariff will benefit from a single £17.50 payment.
