INDEFENSIBLE’ – ENERGY CONSULTANCY COMMENT ON IBERDROLA / SCOTTISH POWER PROFITS

The consultancy’s energy analyst, David Hunter said:  “Despite wholesale prices going into freefall, ScottishPower hasn’t cut domestic standard tariffs in almost a year.  Failure of the “Big 6″ suppliers to pass on to customers the massive reductions in wholesale energy prices, which they have been enjoying since 2008, is scandalous. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/energynews.htm see also http://energyjournalist.wordpress.com/
