BRITISH Gas has become the first big six energy supplier to partly reverse its winter price hike.
After increasing prices by an average 9.2 per cent on November 23, it has shaved 3.2 per cent on average back off again from January 1.
The move is in response to the Government changing environmental and social levies that are paid through household energy bills. It means the average bill for a British Gas cash or cheque customer will now go down by £41, from £1,306 to £1,265 a year.
