TUC: Energy proposals 'will do little to help crisis'

Households are spending almost twice as much of their income on gas and electricity as they did a decade ago. This is what a living standards crisis looks like.

But these proposals will do little to help, and look like the result of a desperate search for something to say rather than action to help household budgets.

Ministers need to deal with the root causes of this dysfunctional market and excess profits without jeopardising our future energy security by cutting vital investment in low-carbon energy.
