Centrica Shares Trade Lower Ahead of Ofgem Announcement

Centrica Shares Trade Lower Ahead of Ofgem Announcement

Centrica slipped in London trading on Tuesday, trailing the FTSE 100, with investors eyeing a coming UK household energy price announcement and a new British Gas tariff. Shares were off around 0.4% at 199.55 pence by 10:20 BST after starting the session at 200.70 pence. The FTSE 100 was up roughly 0.6% according to delayed market data. Ofgem is set to announce the household price cap for July through September by May 27. The cap now stands at 1,641 pounds for a typical dual-fuel direct debit customer, but it doesn’t cap the total bill. Instead, it limits what suppliers can charge per unit of gas and electricity and sets the daily standing charge, which covers the cost to stay connected.

British Gas Debt Warning: Why A £7bn Energy Bill Problem Is Hitting UK Households Now

British Gas Debt Warning: Why A £7bn Energy Bill Problem Is Hitting UK Households Now

The UK government’s proposal to write off up to £500 million in energy debt for vulnerable households hasn’t started yet. That delay leaves ministers under pressure, with industry projections showing consumer arrears heading toward £7 billion—roughly $9.5 billion—by the end of the year. Officials say they’re still working through data-sharing requirements for the scheme. Ofgem, for its part, says the final call belongs to ministers. It’s a tough moment for households. Cornwall Insight is now projecting Ofgem’s energy price cap for July through September at £1,843.78 for a standard dual-fuel direct debit customer—an increase from £1,641 over April to June. The cap, just as before, only affects unit rates and daily standing charges, not the overall bill.

Centrica Shares Sink as British Gas Owner’s Retail Warning Overshadows £370 Million Severn Deal

Centrica Shares Sink as British Gas Owner’s Retail Warning Overshadows £370 Million Severn Deal

Centrica dropped 5.16% to 198.7 pence on Thursday, as the British Gas parent flagged that retail energy earnings are tracking near the lower end of its 2026 target. That outlook weighed on shares, even with news of a £370 million power-station deal landing the same day. This update lands as Centrica attempts to reassure investors that reliable infrastructure returns can help blunt the drag from its household energy business, where mild weather and rising bad debts are squeezing profit. The company now sees retail EBITDA — earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation — tracking toward the bottom of its £500 million to £800 million target, while infrastructure EBITDA is set to come in above the £500 million to £650 million range.

FTSE 100 Falls Today as Shell, BP and Centrica Drag UK Stocks After Peace-Deal Rally

FTSE 100 Falls Today as Shell, BP and Centrica Drag UK Stocks After Peace-Deal Rally

The FTSE 100 was down 0.34% to 10,403.62 at 09:17 BST on Thursday, according to a MarketScreener estimate, after Shell, BP, and Centrica dragged the index lower. London’s heavyweight energy stocks lost ground, reversing some of the index’s previous gains that had followed optimism around a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal. The significance here lies in Wednesday’s sudden rally, which came on the back of shifting geopolitical headlines—not stronger company numbers. The FTSE 100 jumped 2.2% to finish at 10,438.66, while the FTSE 250 advanced 1.7%. Reports of headway toward a Middle East peace deal sent oil tumbling and prompted a wave of risk-on trades.
