Ed Miliband has pledged to end Britain's energy "rip-off" if he is elected Prime Minister. The Labour leader says he will force energy firms to:

  • Freeze bills until 2017
  • Split their retail and wholesale businesses
  • Replace Ofgem with a tougher regulator

The Coalition contends that increasing competition in the energy market and cutting green levies will help to reduce bills.
