Eon

British Gas, EDF, E.On, nPower, Scottish & Southern Energy and Scottish Power have given the strongest hints yet that there will be no price cuts this year despite rising profits.

Eon will automatically move hundreds of thousands of energy customers on its popular capped tariff that ends in October onto an expensive alternative capped deal.

Eon has become the latest power giant to launch a cut-price tariff, as the energy price war hots up.

Energy regulator Ofgem has finally got tough with suppliers by demanding they cut household bills to reflect the falling price they pay for power.

Energy giant Eon has cut its gas prices but only by a nominal amount.
