Energy price cap rise

SSE is the last of the big six energy suppliers to announce a price rise this month, following E.ON and EDF Energy, npower, British Gas and ScottishPower.

All have raised their prices in reaction to Ofgem’s new energy price cap, and have increased the average cost of their standard tariffs to the maximum cap rate.

Richard Neudegg, Head of Regulation at uSwtich, said: “One of the many risks with the energy price cap was that it would encourage suppliers to price default plans up to it — and with SSE’s announcement today, every one of the big six energy companies has done just that.”
