Gas and Electricity Prices in Yorkshire
For people who live in Yorkshire, energy prices will be different in comparison to other regions such as the South West or the West Midlands. This is because of the ‘energy postcode lottery’ whereby every region has different prices for gas and electricity.
To ensure that you get the best rates for your energy supply, it is always recommended that you compare energy prices to find out what deals are available on the market.

Who is the incumbent supplier for Yorkshire?
Each of the different regions in the UK have an incumbent supplier. This is the default energy supplier within the area, so any new home or business will automatically get their gas and electricity supply from this provider unless a supplier switch is completed.
Within Yorkshire, the incumbent supplier for electricity is Npower, whilst the incumbent supplier for gas is British Gas.
If you haven’t switched energy suppliers for some time, you are likely to be on a standard tariff from the region’s incumbent supplier. This type of tariff can be very expensive and often leads to homeowners and businesses overpaying for their gas and electricity. You could undoubtedly find cheaper rates by comparing energy prices and selecting a new tariff.
