Feb 13 (LNGJ) - Centrica, the UK energy company with LNG imports from Qatar and future volumes from the US, said its UK operating utility, British Gas, will extend its price freeze for its customers on its standard tariff until August 2017. The UK natural gas retail market is the most competitive in Europe with over 50 suppliers. “Despite increases in external costs in the last year British Gas has consistently offered one of the cheapest standard energy deals available,” Centrica said. “In December, we promised to take tangible action to improve how the energy market works for all our customers. That effort continues,” it added.
