Confused.com: E.ON energy price cut

Gareth Kloet, head of utilities at Confused.com, says: "While any price cut is a welcome move for the millions of customers who are already with E.ON, the announced price reductions of 9% for electricity but nothing for gas, is a huge disappointment."

"Echoing the move made by Scottish and Southern last week, E.ON has made its announcement two months before the changes will become effective. With the cold weather continuing, it's not what customers want to hear. Coupled with the fact it is not decreasing its gas prices, this announcement leaves a lot to be desired.

The recent decreases from the energy companies do not preclude further cuts, but with one energy chief predicting a rise in Wholesale gas prices, it's time for customers to take matters into their own hands and vote with their feet.

The advice to E.ON customers is simple. Don't wait for the prices to change. Now that you know what's going to happen with your energy prices in the spring, take a look at what the competition is already offering in order to ensure that you are on the best tariff."
