"We have not taken this decision lightly"

Rob Gildert, iSupplyEnergy’s Managing Director, said: “This is the first time we have raised our Standard Variable Tariff.  We have not taken this decision lightly, but growing cost pressure has required this increase. 

"Only 9% of our customer contracts are affected by the price change, considerably fewer than those affected by Standard Variable Tariff changes at all of the Big 6 and comparable suppliers.

"Additionally, following this change, iSupplyEnergy's dual fuel Standard Variable Tariff is still cheaper than all of the Big Six's by up to £75 per year based on Ofgem average consumption values.

"For those loyal customers wishing to offset this increase we'd encourage them to switch to our latest competitive iFix tariff, or our soon to be launched new loyalty tariff, iLoyalty."
