Bills set to rise for E.ON customers

ENERGY: Some E.ON customers will see an average 10.3 per cent price increase from April 1, the supplier has confirmed, just days after Ofgem said price caps designed to protect those on poor value deals would be hiked.

E.ON said that, in line with Ofgem’s price cap, customers on its standard variable gas and electricity tariff will see bills increase by around £117 from £1,137 to £1,254. It says it has 1.8m customers on its standard variable tariff. E.ON expects to see “similar movements” across the industry.
