The big six energy companies buy wholesale from each other, or from their own wholesale subsidiaries. This makes me very suspicious when I read their claims about how small their profits are per customer. A more cynical person would accuse them of rigging the wholesale price to ensure that the retail companies (that we pay for our energy) are not seen to make a large profit.
The UK's energy prices are not the highest in Europe, but that doesn't mean that price increases by the UK energy cartel are justified.
