Current Affairs Energy firm offers consumers prize freeze for 2010
Consumers fearful of rising energy prices have now been offered a choice by the Czech energy giant ČEZ: the possibility of freezing electricity prices through 2010. Not long ago ČEZ came under fire for an announced 10 percent electricity price hike, and this is its answer to critics. Anyone wishing to avoid a further rise in two year’s time, can now sign up. The question is, will it be worth it? The international financial crisis is likely to see energy prices drop before they go up. As a result, anyone signing up for the freeze now could end up with the higher bill.
