Rejected petition Legislation to force energy companies to reduce domestic energy charges.

More details

Legislation that will force domestic energy supply companies of gas and electricity to reduce charges to consumers. Rather than having a one-off tax levee payable to central government, the companies should be forced to split a percentage of their returned profits between their customers. This could be provided as a credit, based on an individual customer's usage/bill total over the previous year, pro rata for customers who haven't been with the company for a whole year.
