Energy provider E.On is to increase gas prices by 15% and electricity prices by 9.7%.
The company is the latest of the big utility companies to increase their prices.
It has blamed a 60% increase in wholesale prices since February for the price rise.
But 670,000 vulnerable customers will have the increase delayed until the spring, said the company formerly known as Powergen.

Once again the big power companies drag out their increases.. with many swiching to Eon because it "holds prices low".... then get walloped ....
Do you remember the days when any oil/petrol/gas price increase was accomapnied by an announcement that OPEC would increase output to stablise prices? Has anyone heard anything about OPEC for years now?
