MP WELCOMES EDF PRICE CUT

January 12, 2012 10:23 AM

Gas Flame

Stephen Gilbert, MP for St Austell & Newquay, has welcomed today's news that EDF gas prices are to fall by 5% from 7th February.

Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat Secretary of State for Energy has called for the remaining five large energy suppliers to follow suit and give consumers some respite this winter.

Commenting, Stephen Gilbert said:

"Households have faced real difficulties this winter after last year's global gas prices pushed up bills. The situation is now changing, with the cost of gas imports falling.

"Some big energy suppliers were quick to pass on rising costs last year, and it is only right that they should now pass on cost reductions to hard-pressed householders as quickly as possible. This announcement from EDF is extremely welcome.

"If other suppliers do not now reduce prices, consumers can send them a clear message by voting with their feet and taking their business elsewhere."
