Following deregulation, competition was introduced into the energy market. Over the years, the market has matured but no one supplier has a monopoly of the best prices year on year. It is therefore advantageous to seek out which supplier is offering the best prices.
5. What needs to happen to ensure the transfer will go ahead as planned?
A Termination Notice must be submitted to the current supplier in accordance with their Terms & Conditions.
6. How long will the transfer between utility suppliers take?
Normally 5-6 weeks from the date the contract is signed.
7. Why are energy prices so high?
The simple answer is because of supply & demand.
World demand for gas is ever increasing, existing reserves and being depleted and until or unless more reserves are discovered and brought on stream shortages will occur and prices will rise.
Government decisions are awaited on new build nuclear power stations to replace existing coal fired & first generation nuclear stations which are becoming life expired. Renewable energy is struggling to make up the shortfall, thus pushing up electricity prices.
