Ed Davey Promises Action on Energy Market Abuse
Energy regulators Ofgem and the Financial Services Authority are investigating claims by a City whistleblower of price fixing in Britain’s gas market,distorting wholesale prices given to them by price reporting companies.
Energy minister Ed Davey has promised action against any individuals or companies found to have manipulated wholesale gas prices in the UK.
"I see it as my job to protect consumers, not least the most vulnerable who can suffer the most when markets are abused."
Davey said “At a time when people and companies are struggling with high energy bills, the country would expect us to take firm action if these allegations prove true, and we will”

Cornwall aims to have first solar powered town
A town in Cornwall is hoping to become the first 'solar powered town'.
Wadebridge in North Cornwall has begun installing solar panels on buildings across the town.
The town has set itself a target of generating at least a third of its electricity from solar and wind power by 2015.
The project is being run by the Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network (WREN), a not-for-profit co-operative.
WREN aims to have 1MW of solar installed across its buildings by April 2012 and 7MW by 2015.
The Network is also exploring other technologies to help reduce the towns' dependence on fossil fuels, including wind; tidal stream generation; biomass and renewably generated electric transport.
WREN has launched a 'Solar Club' offering building owners competitive rates on solar PV by pooling purchases.
Those who do not want to pay for the up-front cost will have systems owned by the ethical bank Triodos - who will reinvest the Feed-in tariff income in other renewables projects and ethical, sustainable business opportunities.
The current feed-in tariff limitations could prove a handicap for the project, however.
WREN founder, Stephen Frankel, said: "In contrast to recent green announcements, their success could be limited due to Government proposals to restrict the size of solar installations in the UK.
"Proposals to limit the Feed-in tariff, payment for clean electricity, to small 50kWp systems means the town wouldn't go ahead with mid to large scale projects which would bring much needed income into their community fund and help the town meet their renewable energy targets.
WREN is also planning a "solar allotment" scheme in conjunction with local company e-tricity, where members could own shares in larger projects.
The scheme is on hold for now due to the government's proposed changes to the tariff.

Councils urged to stop fleecing UK homeowners - Solar Power Portal
After months of unnecessary planning applications submitted for solar installations, Shadow Energy and Climate Change Minister Huw Irranca-Davies has stepped up to ensure UK councils are not giving misleading advice to homeowners. After receiving advice from David Hunt, Director of Darlington-based Eco Environments, Irranca-Davies has pledged to write to his Government counterparts, urging them to take action.
Planning rules state that Building Regulations applications are not needed if the homeowner uses a contractor approved under the Government’s Competent Person Scheme. However, Hunt claims a number of councils are going against Government’s guidance by wrongly telling people they require planning permission or Building Regulations approval which costs £77. This kind of permission has actually not been required since 2008.
Hunt fears the problem may be widespread as Eco Environments has received a number of reports from customers stating that certain councils were insisting households apply for Building Regulations approval prior to installing solar panels. In fact, some councils have served notice on homeowners who had already fitted them.
“The Governments rules are clear. Even in a conservation area, planning should be permitted and Building Regulations should not be necessary as long as the homeowner notifies the local authority and uses accredited installers. The Government needs to make it absolutely clear to local authorities everywhere that they have a duty to adhere to these rules rather than standing in the way of progress.
“The majority of councils do comply, but a small number seem hell bent on causing as many problems as possible. By doing so, they are discouraging people from pursuing renewable energy solutions for their homes and cocking a snook at the Governments environmental agenda.”
Cathy Debenham, the Founder of renewable energy body You Gen said, "Councils lost an important revenue stream when they were told that they should no longer require planning permission for solar PV schemes.
“By trying to persuade homeowners into believing they do need permission, or at the very least Building Regulations approval, maybe they are attempting to cling on to some kind of ongoing income.
“What is the point of Government making laws if councils are going to ignore them? Any council which is pursuing such an agenda deserves to be held to account as their actions fly completely in the face of the Government's policy of encouraging homeowners and businesses to embrace renewable energy solutions wherever possible,” Debenham concluded.
