First Utility (http://www.first-utility.com/) currently offers the UK’s cheapest fixed energy tariff. As well as being the cheapest fixed tariff in the UK, iSave Fixed v3 gives customers peace of mind by fixing their gas and electricity prices until 31st December 2013. For the average customer, the new tariff is £259 per year cheaper than the equivalent energy deal from Big Six energy provider British Gas* and £218 cheaper than the average energy bill from the big six providers, as reported by lovemoney.com**. Darren Braham, co-founder of energy supplier First Utility, stated: “In launching this tariff, we’re aiming to bring further competition to the market and offer consumers a real alternative to the Big Six suppliers, something that consumer champions and industry experts continue to call for.” “We believe our market-leading deal will appeal to people looking to save money on their energy bills, as well as those looking for peace of mind,” continued Mr Braham. “With fixed prices until December 2013, the tariff is appealing in both the short term and also for those looking for longer-term price security.” Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at uSwitch, commented on the launch***: “The launch of the cheapest and longest fixed plan on the market from First Utility is great news for consumers. The battle for competitive plans is really hotting up, with First Utility coming out fighting.” “We have seen signs recently that there could be a light at the end of the tunnel for those households struggling with their energy bills.” “We urge the Big Six to follow the smaller suppliers’ lead in offering lower energy tariffs to their customers, and to do it sooner rather than later.” Find out more about First Utility at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Utility About First Utility First Utility is the smarter independent energy supplier, offering electricity and gas services to a range of consumer and business customers.
