The profit figure is a snapshot of the amount suppliers would make from dual-fuel customers if energy prices and bills stay unchanged for the next year

We know that energy prices won't be going down and we know that customers energy usage is fairly consistent so whilst it must be appreciated that the figures are an estimate and will most likely be lower than quoted it is still a massive number and highlights how vulnerable joe public is to profiteering from energy companies
