In October I received a letter from npower informing me that their prices were to be increased. The annual bill, I am on Sign Online 24, for my electricity was forcast as being 17.8% higher and my gas bill 15.5% higher, their figures. Both substantially more than I thought was being advertised! I have since recieved a further notification informing me that Sign Online 24 will be discontinued on the 3rd February 2013 and that I will automatically be transferred to Go Save S. When I calculated the comparative costs for the new tariff, guess what, it is nearly 7% higher than the revised Sign Online 24 tariff. If I am going to be caught with higher costs, can anyone tell me which of the utility suppliers are not foreign owned? At least my money might stay in the UK.
