Not mentioned, but its a scandal that energy prices are added to by HMG with 5% VAT and 11% "green" surcharge. As they go up so HMG gets more money. Its also the fact that most on pre-payments are either on low incomes or benefits thus HMG is making THEM pay over the odds to the Companies when HMG is paying them. If you work out the cost per unit they are proportionately more for the first units, plus the standing charge so again unfair to those on low incomes and trying to economise. But also if we had better insulation and lower energy appliances/lights etc we'd all save money. Then they give the companies building Nuclear billions in subsidies yet cut off the measly subsidy for solar panels on your roof. I despair - it will never make sense.
