Click Energy have announced they are increasing prices for a third time since September… this time by 18%.
In a move that may take many customers by surprise, electricity supplier Click Energy has announced another large increase of 18% to their tariff rate. This means Click Energy customers have faced increases to their electricity bills on the 1st September, 1st October and now 1st November.
In this blog we take a look at the latest price announcement from Click Energy and what it will mean for customers’ pockets.
What does the price increase mean for customers?
The latest price change from Click Energy will come into effect from 1st November and will mean a typical bill pay or keypad customer will have to find an extra £131 per year.
The price increase applies to the tariff unit rate only. The daily standing charge applied by Click Energy will not change. A standing charge is a fixed amount added on top of your tariff rate to cover an energy supplier’s fixed costs – to pay for supplying your house with power.
Taken together, the three price increases between September and November will mean electricity bills for Click Energy customers will have increased by 43% or around £286.

What Click Energy have said…
In relation to the latest price increase Click Energy have commented…
“(we are) fully aware that this is very unwelcome news to our customer base, especially in light of other recent price hikes, and as such it is not a decision we have taken lightly. That being said, current wholesale market conditions are extremely volatile and therefore we feel that this increase is necessary to reflect our ongoing costs and challenges”
