Smaller supplier goes further than the Big Six with its gas price cut.
Ovo Energy has announced that it is to cut gas prices by 10.4%.
It's by far the largest price reduction when compared to the Big Six suppliers, whose cuts range from 1.3% to 5.1%.
The new price will be effective from 1st March, and OVO says it will save households an average of £65 a year.
