Restrict any increase in the price of energy bills to 4% per year

Those whose tariffs have come to an end, or whose energy companies have already collapsed, have already seen increases of up to 100% in the cost of their bills and are making daily decisions as to whether to eat or heat their homes. Those in this position cannot sustain a further increase. Whilst other countries are also affected by the increase in wholesale gas prices, they are dealing with the crisis differently. In France, the government are limiting any increase to the public to 4%, with any losses to funded directly by the industry from their vast profits. Whilst this would still be an increase, it is more affordable than bills rising by a projected 50%. Urgent help is needed now.
