Introduce a cap on profits made by energy companies.

There needs to be a cap on how much profit energy companies can make.

We understand that you are concerned about the profits that some companies are making and the impact of high costs on people. However, we're not exactly sure how you'd want a cap on profits to work, or what that cap should be.

You could start a new petition explaining what you'd like to happen. For example, you could start a petition asking the UK Government to increase its current energy profits tax to a certain level, if that's something that you'd like to see.

You may also wish to sign this petition calling for energy companies to be nationalised: Nationalise energy companies or this petition calling for a not-for-profit state owned energy provider to be created: Establish a not-for-profit state owned energy provider

You may be interested to know that the current energy price cap sets a maximum that suppliers can charge per unit of energy, and caps the level of profits an energy supplier can make to 1.9%. Ofgem are responsible for setting the energy price cap. You can find out more here:
