        @BBCBreaking @ofgem Why is it always about money! It will mean that bills will increase to pay for compensation and extra administration!

        @BBCBreaking @ofgem that's great news for homeowners, as long as the big six energy companies promise not to increase prices to compensate.

        @BBCBreaking @ofgem well done. You've just given the electricity companies justification for price hikes. Real smart.

        @jacklasalle1 @BBCBreaking @CBCTheNational best of my knowledge, at least for Quebec province no. It's to the insurance company to cover.

        @BBCBreaking @ofgem. Can't they just tax religions for 'acts of God'? It's obviously that cunt's fault.
