The Tory Energy Spokesman, Greg Clark has said that the "cartel" of the big 6 energy firms will be referred to the Competition Commission by an incoming Conservative Government.
Said Tory Energy Spokesperson also condemned the unacceptable lag between the cost of wholesale gas prices and household energy bills - noting that customers were on average being charged some £74 pound too much for their energy per year.
An 'independent' investigation in the Energy companies refusal to pass on reductions in wholesale energy prices to customers will (if it happens) will be welcome along with an 'Energy Revolution' to overhaul the energy sector billing structure and charges
Now don't get me wrong, this all sounds great, but, if my memory serves me correctly wasn't it a Conservative Government that was responsible for starting the whole sorry mess in the first place by privatising the energy market in the first place, throwing any rational energy pricing structure upon the whims of the 'market' by allowing the newly privatised energy companies to price gouge customers in the first place?
Well that was one reason for it, that and helping to feed the fat wallets of Tory chums in the City?
