Green taxes set to cost British families an extra £150 as British Gas blames government for massive 12.5 percent price hike
Three million customers will see their bills rise significantly, as the UK's biggest energy supplier announced the increase from September

GREEN taxes are set to cost British families an extra £150 from next year as British Gas blames the government for a 12.5 per cent price hike.
Three million customers will see their bills rise significantly, the Telegraph reports, as the UK's biggest energy supplier announced the increase from September.
"It is transmission and distribution of electricity to the home and government policy costs that are driving our price increase.”
The body of the text only contained the words “blah blah”, suggesting that the post was posted before it was ready.
The UK’s biggest energy firm publishes its half-year results tomorrow, which will reveal how it plans charge customers after its current price freeze ends next month.
It follows a string of other price hikes from providers, adding to speculation that British Gas may follow suit.
But research by The Big Deal suggests that the energy giant should be cutting bills not putting them up.
