Energy price cap to be reviewed
The UK energy watchdog has said it will review how the price cap on gas and electricity bills is calculated following a series of company failures.
Ofgem said there had been an "unprecedented" rise in wholesale energy prices.
Suppliers are unable to pass on the full rise to consumers because of a price cap on household bills, prompting a number of firms to collapse.
Ofgem will examine if the price cap reflects the risks facing companies.

No impact on the current price cap though, just in case anyone was worried."It will launch the consultation in November. A decision on any changes will be published in February, when the new price cap will be announced before it is implemented in April."
