British Gas announces gas and electricity price rise

British Gas has become the second of the so-called 'Big Six' energy providers to announce price rises for this winter.

The energy company has made the apparently "difficult decision" to raise prices by an average of 8.4% on gas and 10.4% on electricity. That means the average annual bill, according to Ofgem's definition of average use, would jump from £1,321 to £1,444 – an increase of £123.
