Energy Company Raises Bills by 18 Percent and Then Mocks Those Who Struggle to PayLizzie Bennett This is a company that raised their prices by 18%. They advise their customers to: They are advocating the 5:2 energy diet, fasting on energy usage two days a week in order to reduce bills. Following their plan could save customers 154 a year. Although stormy, this winter has so far been incredibly mild, which is a massive relief for those who struggle with heating costs in winter. I dread to think what they would have come up with if the weather had been bad and utility bills had really soared. May I suggest a few ways they could cut costs and reduce customer bills? Speaking to the Independent Ed Kamm of First Utility said: These tips are meant to provide some advice on how we might reduce our energy usage and absolutely not intended to trivialise the issue of fuel poverty, something we take very seriously. Really? Looks more like another example of crass and ill thought-out crap, masquerading as advice that spews from the mouths of those who have enough money that they dont have to worry about fuel bills and the rises imposed by greedy energy companies.
