Energy bills: Ofgem failing consumers, say MPs

John Robertson, MP, has called for greater transparency of energy company profits, saying the energy regulator Ofgem tries to be nice to everybody and ends up being nice to nobody.

In a new report, the Energy and Climate Change Committee also said that the industry regulator Ofgem is failing consumers by not tackling the energy companies.

As one of the MPs behind the report, he said transparency was needed before consumers could have any kind of trust and it was important to know exactly how much money the energy companies were making.
