Background
UK households are struggling with soaring energy bills, yet energy companies report £457 billion in profits, exploiting the energy price cap as a target rather than a limit. Vulnerable families are forced into fuel poverty while corporations prioritize shareholder gains. Reform the price cap, enforce transparency, and cap excessive profits. Windfall taxes on these profits should fund aid for low-income households and energy efficiency programs.
