    Energy prices up AGAIN.

    Npower raises energy prices again

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4792928.stm

    "The energy company Npower is raising its prices for domestic customers for the second time this year, blaming rises in wholesale prices.

    Electricity and gas prices are set to rise by an average of 13.4% and 15% respectively, Npower has announced.

    This follows its price rises of 13.6% for electricity and 14.5% for gas which took place in January. "

    ...

    "...'their bills have still gone up by 53% for gas and 44% for electricity since January 2004,' said Alistair Tillen at SimplySwitch...."


    Well at least pensioners can sell their home to pay for heating - oh hang on, isn't the DWP planning on doing that already for overpaid pension credits? - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4792774.stm

      if this keeps on then solar panels and a domestic wind turbine are going to seem more beneficial. And you can sell unused power back to the energy companies too!!

      Older and ...well, just older!!
