British Gas, the UK’s largest energy supplier has increased the price of their gas and electricity by 15%. This follows on from NPower and EDF who also increased the cost of their energy services in recent days.

This will probable increase the worry of the UK consumer that the government’s measure of inflation (CPI) is no longer representative of the actual level of price inflation being experienced.

Also of note, as of the announcement, British Gas’ Domestic website has been down for some routine maintenance work. The temporary holding page provides emergency contact numbers.
