Energy prices "cut" by 5% but read meters!
After increasing energy prices after last summer, most have dropped the price of either (not Both) electricity or gas by 5%.
Make sure you READ YOUR METER on the day of the drop and let your supplier know otherwise they will over-estimate the usage at the time of the price reduction and you will be overcharged. (Silly me, even at the reduced rates we are all being overcharged)
Around 20% of all energy bills is a "stealth tax" for government mandated "green" iniatives. They even add 5% Vat to this as well.
