Unless the UK government intervenes, Energy bills will soar to 50% next year.

Energy bills will soar another 50% next year unless the government intervenes, the industry has warned.
Supplier EDF said the situation was “critical” as customers, already seeing record bills, are hit with more rises due to surging wholesale gas prices.
Emma Pinchbeck, head of trade body Energy UK, said rising prices were now starting to hurt the economy.
The government said it had measures to protect consumers, but she told the BBC tax cuts and green levies would help.
Other European governments, also hit by the global rise in energy costs, were doing more, Ms Pinchbeck said.
“We’ve had record-breaking gas prices since September, and over the last couple of weeks prices have spiked again,” she said. “They are at levels that, frankly, we have not seen before.
“It’s looking pretty serious for the spring. Domestic energy bills are going to go up 45-50%.”
Wholesale costs hit another record this week of 450p a therm, which experts predict could take average annual bills to about £2,000 next year.
