British Gas to delay rise in standard tariff direct debits until next year
UK’s largest energy supplier confirms it will increase prices from February in line with new industry cap of £1,277 a year
British Gas will freeze the direct debits of 2m households over the winter to help customers manage the highest cap on standard energy bills since the regulatory measure was introduced in 2019.
The UK’s largest energy supplier confirmed it would raise the price of its default dual fuel tariff in line with the industry price cap, which will climb by 12% to an average of £1,277 a year.
