Commenting on Ofgem’s investigation, announced today (Wednesday 1 May 2013), into energy firms that have missed Government targets to slash emissions and help households cut their bills, Friends of the Earth Energy Campaigner Dave Timms said:

“Ofgem must come down hard on energy firms that haven’t met their obligation to help households insulate their homes.

“Any fines should go directly to Government, council or charity schemes to cut fuel poverty.”
