Petition for Government intervention,control and capping powers over energy and water companies gas,electric and water prices
This petition is to empower Government via an Act to set binding annual caps on what all energy and water companies can charge all their customers . Also Government should have the power to force energy/water companies to reduce their prices for all customers when they are too high and cause economic hardship.
The need for this reform arises because despite the existence of competition and the free market the energy and water companies have acted like a colluding group of monopoly providers relentlessly increasing their prices without having to take any account of the majority of their customers economic circumstances against the back drop of deep and long term recession. The only alternative is for greater Government intervention and price controls over what the energy and water companies can charge us all.
