To be honest though I don't think TheDaddy was having a Labour vs Tory bash, he was having a go at the energy companies generally.
That 9% is based on an average across gas and electricity. For electricity alone it is 14%, and for Gas it is 5%. And that is nothing compared to the future impact. 41% by 2030.

On that picture households will be paying 41% more for their electricity bills as a result of green policies than the retail price is expected to be.
