British Gas Announces Tracker Price Rise

UK utility British Gas has announced it is to increase prices on its Market Tracker plan, leading to speculation that wider increases in gas and electricity bills could follow.

British Gas, the country's largest energy supplier, is raising prices by 13 percent for gas and 15 percent for electricity.

The Marker Tracker plan gives energy consumers the option of linking gas and electricity prices to the rises and falls of the wholesale market.
