Existing Bulk Domestic Users Wanting to Change Supplier
Customers who use LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) for domestic heating and cooking should find it easier to switch suppliers following measures that are to be introduced by the Competition Commission (CC), after concluding its investigation into the domestic bulk LPG market (www.competition-commission.org.uk.). The following comes into effect from mid-late 2008.
Customers can switch suppliers without changing the bulk tank and service pipework. In effect the incoming supplier will buy the existing tank from the
outgoing supplier;
Just four companies - BP, Calor, Flogas and Shell - control more than 90% of the UK market. There are over 200,000 households using LPG all paying substantially varying prices with little room for price negotiating on an individual basis. LPG Solutions is putting a stop to this by asking domestic users to register with us; we will collectively act as a mass mediator to drive prices down.
