LONDON, (PNA/Xinhua) — British Gas, the biggest energy supplier in the United Kingdom, said it plans to raise the energy price by an average of 9.2 percent from next month, local media reported Friday.
The price hikes will affect nearly eight million households in the country, includes an 8.4 percent rise in gas prices and a 10.4 percent increase in electricity bills from November 23, said the British Gas.
SSE will raise the gas price by 8.2 percent from 15 November, announced the company on 10 October.
The average annual household bill in Britain will increase by 123 Great British Pounds, said British Gas, though it said it “understands the frustration” of the price rising faster than incomes.
