Caroline Flint MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, commenting on the announcement that Npower has adjusted its price increase to 7.8% following changes to green levies, said:
 
“Even after the Government’s changes to green levies, people’s energy bills will still be higher this winter than last. This is why nothing less than a price freeze and reforms to stop the energy companies overcharging again in the future will do.
 
"The Government boasts about the economic recovery, but soaring energy bills are one of the main reasons working people are £1,600 a year worse off under David Cameron.”
