Grant Shapps ‘sympathetic’ to scrapping energy bill rise
Energy secretary claims he and the chancellor are looking “very carefully” at April’s £500 increase. …
On Monday, Energy UK, which represents suppliers, said: “Falling wholesale costs means the EPG has cost the government a lot less than had been anticipated so we, alongside many charities and consumer groups, are urging them to use this surplus to hold the EPG at £2,500 – and to announce that quickly so it can be incorporated in customer bills in time for April.”
