Firms are last of UK’s six biggest energy providers to reduce tariffs – but critics say cuts do not go far enough
British Gas and France’s EDF have cut their gas prices by £31 a year.
They are the last of the UK’s big six energy companies to reduce tariffs after a collapse in wholesale commodity costs. But consumer experts described the reductions as “paltry”. They highlighted the fact that the reductions only kick in next month, at the end of the winter, and that electricity tariffs had been left unchanged.
