    Feb 3: Shell annual results Feb 7: Ofgem hikes price cap Feb 8: BP annual results With oil & gas giants set to report bumper profits and return billions to investors within days of perhaps the biggest energy bill increase ever, calls for a windfall tax are only going to grow…

    As I suggested on it's time for a windfall tax on the profits of North Sea oil and gas production to pay for the costs of the energy crisis, not UK consumers.

    Eek! And for that matter, aargh! Bulb used to be on a short hedge. Now it's reportedly mostly trading at spot prices. This could get very expensive.

    The price of energy is a massive issue across Europe, and other Treasuries have responded. Where is the Chancellor on this? It's like we've spotted a live grenade in a room full of people and we've been told to put a pillow over it and cross fingers rather than worry anyone...

    Energy bills are already set to rise to £2,000/year from April, reckons, with next six weeks of wholesale price data yet to feed into that Questions now: How much higher can they go? And what the hell is the government going to do about it?

    Brilliant, forensic work by on a decade of regulatory failings by Ofgem that led to this year’s supplier carnage Collapses set to add £94 to bills from April, on top of wholesale increases. Could see a total rise of 48% to £1,891/year 😱

    Brearley admits that regulation needs to "go much further" with stress tests. Says energy suppliers will either have to hedge responsibly or else show they have sufficient capital to withstand the risks they're taking if not.

    Ofgem boss Jonathan Brearley on the defensive once more at a Lords committee over how so many energy suppliers have failed He says the gas price rise has been an "enormous shock" & all companies are struggling. We have to plan for high prices "being around for the coming months"
