I find it incredible that OFGEM are permitting this rise in prices. When I see the excessive profits being posted by Centrica/British Gas, it is obscene. The price increases are not needed or acceptable and Government needs to act now.

    I just wanted to comment on this in case new members don't know. Scope has a service called Disability Energy Support. If anyone with a disability, or living with someone with a disability, in England or Wales needs any advice with their energy and water situation. Please reach out <3

    Earlier in the year I was in contact with the Disability Energy Advisor. She was so brilliant, helpful and provided monetary help. Thanks to the advisor I am back on track. Thank you.

    As well as some who have made excessive profits there have been others that have gone bankrupt so OFGEM has to strike a balance which reflects the rising wholesale price of energy.

    Absolutely! No business would want to make a loss.
