So they are all working in concert? What supposedly massive profits are the supplier companies making?
Octopus 2021 £85m LOSS.
SSE/OVO 2020 £7m LOSS
EDF 2020 £154m LOSS

During the height of covid, in one US oil market, the price was negative, ie they would pay you to take the oil. Not always a reward.


And Germany is looking at adding a 500 or 1,000 Euros annual levy.
