Which? response to the E.ON price hike announcement
Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said:
“This price rise will be infuriating for E.ON customers who have already seen the removal of dual fuel and paperless discounts earlier this year.
“This completes a full house of Big Six price hikes, giving millions of standard variable tariff customers yet further incentive to switch and potentially save over £400 a year.”

Data is from Energylinx. Prices given are averages across regions, are rounded to the nearest whole pound and correct on 19 June.
