Will E.on profits fall affect consumers?

E.on, one of the UK's "big six" energy suppliers, has reported annual results which show a fall in profits as the company counts the cost of not raising bills in 2012.

Eon has since its bills by an average of 9%.

Tony Cocker, E.on's UK chief executive, told Today business presenter Simon Jack that "our profits this year in 2012 were reduced compared to a very good 2011."

"We can't guarantee that will not have to raise prices again at some point this year," he added.
