Centrica, the owners
of British Gas, warned that UK gas prices could go up by a
whopping 60% over the next few years, because of our
increased reliance on imported gas.
This will take the average gas bill from nearly £650 to over £1,000,
and push annual dual fuel bills up by more than £600 to nearly £1,700.

What can you do to
avoid rising bills?
If you haven't already, you can still act now by signing up to a fixed
rate energy tariff and protect yourself from price rises for the next
year.
But don't delay, as suppliers are starting to withdraw their best
offers from the market almost daily. Energy Helpline.
