LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 11/07/12 — First Utility CEO Ian McCaig took part in a 5 Live Consumer Team discussion on 18th October 2012 at 4pm along with a consumer and moneysavingexpert.com–s Martin Lewis.
With the –accidental– announcement regarding tariffs by Prime Minister David Cameron who said “we would be legislating so that energy companies have to give the lowest tariff to their customers”, this was a hot topic.
In this broadcast Martin Lewis promoted the benefits for consumers of locking into a tariff, from one of the providers who haven–t yet put their rates up. While both he and a consumer (who was also involved in the discussion) advocated simpler tariff systems to make it easy for people to know what they–re getting.
In the discussion Ian McCaig mentioned:
– –Big 6– annual costs tend to be around GBP 1,300
– While First utility–s annual cost is nearer to GBP 1,100
– currently offers a simple variable tariff
– Unit price is not stepped and is fixed no matter how many are used
As the largest independent energy provider in the UK behind the –Big 6–, First Utility offers a significant alternative to what they offer and potential savings of around GBP 200, even after any exit penalties are taken into account if they switch and lock in to a tariff with First Utility.
Visit First Utility–s website or follow First Utility on Twitter (@First_Utility) for further information on this tariff and other ways they can help you save energy and money.
