BP and Shell announcing multi billion pound profits is nothing short of a disgrace
The government should be stepping in here...

So should they be on the energy companies.
The gas price has been falling,in fact lower than before it all started as far as I recall.
Certainly lower than predicted £4000
and £6000 by Spring.
Its had long enough to work through now.

Really pisses me off when they say "the price has gone up so we've got to put prices up straight away" then when they come down it's "but we bought it a higher rate so we've got to wait until we've used that up to bring the price down"
It's the most transparent bit of complete bullshit ever.

Talking of domestic fuel, Ofgem currently shaping up to be even more fucking useless than the Tory government which is mightily fucking impressive.
Wholesale gas price has plummeted and these cunts are going to put up the cap.
And Keith says we still shouldn’t nationalise
Energy bills to rise by 20% in April despite wholesale gas prices falling by 70%

Something is seriously wrong here. People are skipping meals to heat their house or not heating their house so they can eat and then you hear this. The government seriously needs to sort this out. The energy price cap is clearly weighted heavily in favour of these companies recording record profits.Well done to Centrica they must have made some amazing improvements to have tripled profits

British Gas made £10/customer/year profit. It’s the generation companies that are making bank. I honestly don’t see how the competition law that says generators can’t sell their stuff cheap works in consumers favour. The entire idea of marketising the retailers has never made sense to me. From what I can understand I could invent a free electricity source tomorrow and I’d be forced to sell it at the same rate as the most expensive electricity on the market.

Well it didn’t cost them any more to get out of the ground, just the market price went up because supply was constrained.
Its going to be nine months now since the last big hike. they were predicting 6k bills.
Its been below the initial jump from that point since september.thats long enough to factor it in.
Again today in the papers have an expert in telling us it needs more time to factor in ,bollux you've had your profits and fun at our expense now FO and leave us alone.
Come on whats up with you.get on the streets .

Most of the price of fuel is tax. You have the fuel tax and then the VAT which taxes the tax.
Fuel is cheap still if you consider that the oil has to be found, removed from the ground, transported to a refinery, refined then transported to a petrol station. You can pay more than that for water and that falls from the sky.
Agree with that but by all accounts the petrol stations are making more than double usual profit per litre since pandemic
What he misunderstands is I'm on about gas ans electric.
It's gone up over 3times , should be going down but is going up again and it's hopeless to people who are on a fixed income.
Yeah, I try to keep petrol/diesel and home energy separate. Either way both should be coming down ! Im sure it will improve soon Wingy

Energy bills forecast to drop by more than £800 from July
Britons currently face average bills of £2,500 a year for the average household, under the Government's Energy Price Guarantee, with the cap increasing in April, when average bills will go up to £3,000 a year.

So turns out the supermarkets were just creaming more profits for themselves all along…

Drivers paid higher fuel prices after supermarkets increased margins - watchdog
The Competition and Markets Authority has said a new fuel finder scheme should be set up so consumers can see what petrol stations are charging in real time. It also said the scheme should be administered by a new fuel monitoring body.

Some irony from a government that takes the biggest piece of the pie in taxes.

I remember a time not so long ago when the supermarkets were being criticised by the CMA for selling fuel at next-to-no margin whatsoever, and forcing independents out of business. They really can't win, can they?
