E.On is cutting its standard gas prices by 3.5%, equivalent to £24 off an average annual household gas bill.
The price cut will take place with immediate effect. German-owned E.On supplies gas and electricity to five million homes in the UK.
Tony Cocker, chief executive of E.On UK, said "We are the first supplier to reflect through our standard tariff the overall drop in wholesale gas prices."
Firms are under pressure to cut prices as wholesale energy costs have fallen.
At the weekend, Matthew Hancock, Business, Energy and Enterprise Minister, wrote to the six biggest energy companies demanding price cuts because wholesale gas prices are 30% lower than a year earlier.
Labour leader Ed Miliband has said energy regulator Ofgem should be given new powers to force firms to cut gas and electricity bills.
Mr Cocker said: "While oil prices have slumped, the gas price has remained volatile - some days up, some days down - and many of the other non-energy costs that we don't control but make up a customer's bill have increased and are set to increase further
"We have made this decision knowing that our ability to recover costs, should the market outlook change in the months or years ahead, may be limited but we urge all political parties to recognise the realities of the energy industry and help us to continue to do the best for all of our customers."
