Energy providers hedge prices incorrectly

If you look at your monthly energy costs and think that you are probably paying too much consider this. The reason that you are paying higher electricity prices may be that your UK energy supplier may be locked into contracts forcing them to buy their fuel at high prices also. Even the largest energy companies in the world such as British Gas have to purchase fuel from sources outside their own production. In order to stabilize costs they enter into long-term contracts at fixed prices. This keeps the price for your home electricity stable, but does not create a competitive marketplace. When other energy companies have secured fuel at lower prices, they in turn can lower their electricity prices. All this means is that from time to time there will be a large disparity between prices charged for home and business energy among the various United Kingdom energy suppliers. Smart consumers are taking advantage of this difference by switching energy providers. The first step in doing this is to compare energy prices with the free online tool you will find at energychoices.co.uk.
