What can be done about the high cost of Gas and Electricity in the UK?

Question

Are the suppliers accountable to a watchdog?

Answer 1

look on one of the comparison websites to find a energy plan for your needs

Answer 2

Nothing.

Answer 3

Unlikely since our utilities are mostly foreign owned we are at their mercy.

Answer 4

nothing really,  lets face it, they have control cause they know its something we cant live without and will have to afford.  Hence why they are making record profit even though they said "ooh prices have to go up cause it costs more to buy).

They are accountable because its something that we cant live without (a necessity), and they were investigated and the brittish grid fined for letting companies take the mick, but i don't know if anythin will result from it.  Lets face it,  they want to make more money cause they are greedy and its us poor lot who will have to carry on struggling to pay.

Answer 5

There is nothing that you personally can do about it but the prices are currently being looked into by the government at the moment as all the energy companies are reporting massive profits but they keep on raising the costs of fuel.

Answer 6

They are being investigated

Answer 7

GO GREEN AND LEAVE THE SUPPLIERS IN THE SH*T!!!!  All they will be able to do then is lower their prices, although it does require a phenomenal transition to green energy by the whole of the population...It would work!  Another option - cut down on your energy consumption - green lightbulbs, double glazing, extra insulation, wear a jumper, turn off the lights, dont leave things on standby.... its all really easy stuff to do and we have ALL heard it before.  LETS DO THIS!!

Answer 8

Stop using it so much then it will cost less ( supply and demand )
