WEIR RESTATES INVESTIGATION CALLS INTO ENERGY MARKET

 

Commenting on news that energy provider E.ON has today (Thursday) today become the latest firm to announce inflation-busting price increases for gas and electricity customers, SNP Westminster Energy Spokesperson, Mike Weir MP, said:

 

"The energy market simply is not working for the consumer, and we must now have a top-level investigation into how these energy companies are operating.

 

“One by one the major companies have announced inflation-busting increases, and the regulator seems unwilling or impotent to do anything about it.

 

“If Ofgem won’t take action, then the Competition Commission should step in and investigate.”
