Energy company SSE is to cut its household gas prices by 5.3% – but not until after Easter. The company, formerly known as Scottish and Southern, is the second "Big Six" energy supplier to announce a gas price cut this year in the wake of falling wholesale prices. SSE claimed the cut would save a typical household £1,068 a year, bringing an average dual fuel energy bill down to £32 a year. The company was criticised for delaying the price cut until March 29, leaving its customers paying higher prices for the rest of the winter. SSE came in for similar criticism last year when it also delayed a price cut.
