Rejected petition Impose an profit cap for energy companies per kWh

There should be a flat cap on the amount of profit that can be made per kWh instead of a percentage. This will bring users bill costs down and prevent profiting from the energy crisis

More details

Currently energy companies make a percentile markup profit on energy bills. This means that as wholesale prices increase, their profits increase, whilst the public have to pay more money.
