Sixth main supplier cuts bills for gas

Energy provider Scottish Power will cut gas bills by an average of 8 per cent from March 31.

The group is the last of the “big six” energy providers to reduce its gas tariffs this year as firms respond to sharply lower wholesale energy prices.

About 1.6 million gas customers will benefit from today’s reduction. Scottish Power, which is owned by Spanish group Iberdrola, drew criticism for failing to pass on reductions when it revealed a 7.9 per cent rise in earnings.
