Maybe it was just simple profiteering....

It found that the average profit margin for supply to household customers was 4.3% - in line with the claims made by the industry - as energy use rose and bills went up.

But it calculated the profit margin made in generating energy in 2012 at 20% - slightly lower on the previous two years
...
The study sought to explain the disparity between supply margin and that for generation by pointing out that the generation part of a business needed significant sums of money over the long term to invest in building new power stations.

Stop misleading.
