Cameron in energy bills talks

David Cameron
No 10 summit ... PM David Cameron

DAVID Cameron has summoned greedy energy bosses to an emergency summit at No10 today.

The PM will urge the Big Six gas and electricity firms to bring down bills this winter. The average annual dual fuel bill could reach a staggering £1,345 by November.

Energy firms rake in profits of £125 per customer a year — up from £15 in June. He will tell British Gas, Scottish and Southern Energy, Scottish Power, E.ON, RWE, npower and EDF to put customers first.

Consumer groups and energy regulator Ofgem will also attend.

In a statement with Energy Secretary Chris Huhne yesterday, the PM said: "The price rises couldn't come at a worse time for consumers."

  • BRITISH Gas last night vowed not to raise prices again this winter after a roasting from Ofgem.
