  • Revealed: As bills rise for millions of Brits, this is how much profit energy suppliers make.

    August 16, 2022

    Energy bosses were hauled in front of ministers last week amid nightmare predictions that the average household bill might climb to £5,000 from April after a winter of soaring heating prices. Energy companies have been calling for immediate help for customers. The price cap on bills prevents the firms from taking excess profits from the [...]

  • Energy firm Eon losing customers at ‘alarming rate’, report says

    March 14, 2019

    The number of energy customers abandoning Eon is growing at an “alarming” rate, experts have warned, as the Big Six continues to lose out.

  • As competition heats up, meet the energy company taking on the Big Six by cutting consumption

    January 14, 2019

    You know the drill: energy companies lure you in with a cheap introductory rate, and once it expires, you’ve either got to repeat the hassle of shopping around for a new deal, or you’re automatically moved onto the provider’s expensive default tariff – otherwise known as the standard variable rate (SVR).
