Scottish and Southern Energy cuts domestic gas bills by 4 per cent
Scottish and Southern Energy has become the second of the big six energy suppliers to announce a cut its domestic gas prices. From 29 March its customers can expect to pay around 4 per cent less than at present.
The company said it would cut unit prices, adjust the 'fixed' charge element in bills and remove the extra charges levied on its 'single fuel' and pre-payment tariffs compared with standard credit tariffs.
According to SSE its customers will pay around 5% less for their gas than customers of British Gas.
In addition, SSE has claimed that its pre-payment tariff will become the lowest in Great Britain.
The removal of the extra charges levied on SSE's gas pre-payment tariff follows the earlier removal of the extra charges levied on its electricity pre-payment tariff.
Alistair Phillips-Davies, energy supply director of SSE, said: "Energy supply is still a challenging business, with significant upward price pressures which run counter to reductions in wholesale costs, but we believe this is a responsible package of measures which confirms that SSE is one of the country's most competitive energy suppliers."
