British Gas Announces New Rates For Pre-Payment Meter Customers

British Gas has announced new rates for pre-payment customers which will reduce prices by an average of £22 a year.

The new rates will come into effect on 18 December for dual fuel pre-payment customers.

Phil Bentley, Managing Director of British Gas, said: "We are always trying to bring down our costs and have a dedicated team who focus solely on improving the service we give our pre-payment customers. For example, we are the only supplier to give pre-payment customers peace of mind over energy prices by introducing long-term fixed-price contracts. Now we have identified cost savings, and are passing these on to our customers.


"At British Gas we are committed to passing savings on to our customers wherever we can. And, while wholesale gas prices are still high, they are falling; if that continues, we are hopeful we'll be able to reduce prices for all our customers next spring."
