Rejected petition Refer all 6 big energy Companies to the Compettition Commission

More details

When the price of Gas & Electric changes in Britain the British public seem to bear the brunt especially if the price of wholesale Gas goes up - it certainly doesnt come down if the cost of Wholesale Gas is cheaper.
The question is what are the regulators doing to ensure customers are getting the best deal?
Its about time we refer the 6 big Energy companies to the Competition Commission to investigate if price-fixing is a factor in our energy pricing and what can be done to open the market to more players especially ones in Europe - Gazprom and a like.
