Pre-pay meter energy users paid £226 a year more: Citizens Advice
Energy customers on pre-payment meters have been paying an average of £226 a year more than they would have done on the cheapest direct debit tariff, Citizens Advice has said.
The charity said the gap between the cheapest and most expensive tariffs widened by up to a third in six months.
Co-Operative Energy, which had the widest gap of £405, responded by saying it was cutting its pre-payment rates.

Can I charge an EV in the vehicle in the rain?
Yes, all connections are fully sealed and tested to comply with safety standards. Care should be taken when connecting the car to a power source to ensure that there are no open connections and the car should not be charged when the mains power outlet is exposed to rain.

Spinnaker Tower branding
A Portsmouth landmark is to be painted blue and gold following an outcry over the use of red in the previous plan.
The city council announced a £3.5m deal with airline Emirates to rebrand the Spinnaker Tower earlier this month.
The decision upset 10,000 people who signed a petition against a branding plan as red and white are the colours of football rivals Southampton.
More than 100 litres of red paint, bought in readiness for the work, will now be given away to good causes.
Blue is the traditional colour of the city of Portsmouth and its football team.
Donna Jones, leader of Portsmouth City Council said: "We have listened to the public and created a new blue, gold and white design that is in keeping with suggestions from residents.
Councillor Ben Dowling said: "It's good that the new design isn't red but we still have some fairly serious questions about the process that has taken place.
The 170m high tower will be renamed the Emirates Spinnaker Tower
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates said: "We listened to the feedback and worked with the council to adapt the designs in order to create something that Portsmouth residents will be proud of."
An application for advertising consent has been posted on the Portsmouth City Council website.
It states: "Brand logo and brand name will be adhered to the tower legs and lower ground signage base."
