Profit Margin
I never knew that the profit margin on an average £1315 energy bill was only £65. That works out at less than 5%.
For the amount that it’s worth to a consumer, there are far more ways I’d want the government to concentrate their efforts on than pursue these companies.
Why not add extra money into the fund to find alternative sources of energy that will in future make us less reliant on the likes of Russia and the Middle East.
It comes down to the short term view of Governments vying to win their next election rather looking at the bigger picture.
