A REDUCTION in energy prices will still leave households struggling to pay their bills while companies pocket billions in profits, unions and campaigners warned today. 

Energy regulator Ofgem is to lower the cap on energy bills by 12.5 per cent in April, with average annual bills expected to fall by £238 as a result. 

But Unite union general secretary Sharon Graham said working people would still be “paying through the nose while the energy profiteers laugh all the way to the bank.”
