The boss of energy firm SSE has told ITV News he "agrees" with Labour leader Ed Miliband over freezing energy prices. He admitted the firm, which has pledged not to raise domestic bills until 2016, has lost several hundred thousands of customers.
The chair of the House of Commons energy committee has questioned the impact SSE's promise to freeze prices will have on the energy market.
Tim Yeo said he was worried about companies reducing investment in renewable energy if they think lower bills will hit their profits.
Last September SSE came out against Labour's plans for an energy price freeze, but today the CEO seemed to forget these previous views.
SSE's decision to freeze energy bills is about protecting its shareholders as well as dealing with customers' concerns about rising prices.
