Energy firms face dressing down
The “big six” energy companies will today receive a dressing down at Downing Street amid warnings energy bills could climb even higher. Bills have doubled from just £740 five years ago to £1,345 for the average household. Cameron will meet with British Gas, EDF, Eon, Npower, Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern in a bid to convince them to offer cheaper tariffs to customers.
