If uptrend is to carry on it needs to break 155p...just facilitate BP or RDSB to buy out CNA...

The offer you highlighted did not last long!

Update, 19 October. Sadly, British Gas has today pulled the deal below, presumably due to its huge popularity. We've left the write-up as it was for reference. But don't fear... you can still save a typical £200/yr+ on your energy with other deals via our Cheap Energy Club.



Shame as I was about to take advantage of the offer :-(

The opening paragraph from the above link :-

"The average price for the best energy deal has risen by 21% in only the last five months. British Gas could now be the second cheapest fixed rate tariff for you."

At times like this it must be great to hold CNA . Well done to you guys for holding and collecting the juicy divi.

Very interesting

31 million cars must spend about £40bn per annum on diesel/petrol.
a big chunk of that is tax.

this is a big market.

[careful] 19/10/2018 15:35

The rush to electric car charging will require a huge increase in electric power supply and thousands of charging points.
HMG will have to recoup the tax it charges on petrol and diesel in some way.
Centrica could be a huge winner here, they have the infrastructure to start with.

Not a surprise. The change at the helm is refreshing and will ultimately see long to medium term holders well rewarded for their patience.

[portside1] 19/10/2018 09:30

shell/ bp we are moving into elec it is now the future we are going to invest billions into new elec generation , we will not be bidding for any business we will make our own company

[supermarky] 18/10/2018 19:00

[jpjohn1] 18/10/2018 07:56

FT 100 looks like starting flat, I have it about -12

[wendsworth] 17/10/2018 22:06

mitchy : That time will come ! Trading update on 22/11 should be interesting .

[mitchy] 17/10/2018 14:38

OMG ..can you imagine the stampede to get back into cna if it was announced BG were actually GAINING customers? !

[capeview] 17/10/2018 14:10

Nice to see BG getting there prices cheaper and having the boiler cover is a good idea, but my cover with Octopus and paying for boiler cover separate without the penalty of exit fees is still cheaper.

[latics2] 17/10/2018 11:34

Just switched from standard tariff to 2019 fixed....over 3% saved that takes care of current inflation.

[skinny] 17/10/2018 10:29

I've literally just initiated a switch (back) to British Gas from E.on on the back of this morning's email.

The only alternatives last week when our fixed rate tariff ended were companies I'd never heard of.

[argylerich] 17/10/2018 10:04

British Gas now being recommended as cheapest 1yr fix on the market by MSE!!

"We can't believe we're saying this, but... switch to British Gas (even if you're already a BG customer)

Yes, you read that right. We're not often fans of big energy firms, so there was a collective stunned silence at MSE Towers this week when we realised prices have risen so much that the new British Gas tariff is the cheapest fixed deal on the market (after cashback). Not only that, but it also throws in free boiler cover.

And when we say cheapest, that's not cheapest Big 6 fix, or cheapest big name - it's on average cheaper than even small suppliers' fixes. Martin says he can't remember the last time this happened (though that could just be his memory, he's getting on a bit). And a special message...

If you're already with British Gas on its standard tariff this is a no-brainer - yet don't expect it to switch you, you need to take action."

* Fracking

[mitchy] 16/10/2018 19:38

Still more selling. Energy market is spooked a bit at the moment. The results should make for interesting reading. Has the oil price helped?Facing has started.Goose lick.

[poikka] 16/10/2018 10:31

Yup, yet another small energy provider bites the dust, but there are, apparently, some 70 small energy providers. Still, their reputation must be suffering, which ain't going to do us any harm :).
