Guess who they'll be passing that charge onto, energy cap or not? Although I am one of those who unashamedly switches for the cheapest and might get hit by this, there's something very wrong with the current system. Those that can least afford to pay, on prepayment meters etc, are being charged much more per unit of energy. It needs a complete overhaul of make it fairer, whilst allowing the companies to make a reasonable profit.
