Labour leader adds to pledge to freeze bills until 2017 with plan to give regulator ability to make firms pass on wholesale price cuts to customers
Ed Miliband wants the energy regulator to use a proposed legal power to enforce an additional cut in annual fuel bills estimated to be worth £100 per household.
The Labour leader has already pledged to introduce an energy bill price cap, freezing bills until 2017, which the party says will cut annual bills by £120 a year. Miliband’s latest proposal would almost double that saving for most consumers by 2017.
