British Gas shakes up the market again with further price cuts

Geoff Slaughter, Energy Product Manager at uSwitch.com, the independent online comparison and switching service, comments: “This second cut by British Gas demonstrates that consumer power really does exist. It seems to be a direct response to its customers, although in danger of being seen by some as a knee jerk reaction to the scathing report published last week on its substandard customer service levels.

“However, it’s refreshing to see British Gas bringing the fight back to the energy market and we hope to see other providers follow suit quickly.

“The key thing now for consumers is not to become complacent about price cuts. We know that there is still scope for plenty more and it’s only by consumers piling the pressure on that the suppliers will start digging a bit deeper into their pockets. Its vital for consumers to be turned on to switching and to make sure they are getting the best deal for them.”
