That's because Centrica produces & sells gas.

All the energy companies that are making huge profits are producing the oil & gas that they use & sell, most of the small energy suppliers who have to buy all their gas have gone bust.

The next rise in January is predicted to be 27% which will take a current energy bill of £150 pm (£273 pm in October) to £346 pm.

The energy price cap will eventually be beyond the limit at which many people will be able to pay their bills.

For example, after January 2023, our energy bill & our council tax bill will more or less take our entire State Pension.

So would I.   How do they sleep at night, because her salary is obscene, before any bloody bonuses.

Quite easily as she's a sociopath, are as virtually all successful business people, certainly the CEOs of big companies.

This is what enables them to succeed as they never stop to think of the consequences of their actions & it wouldn't worry them if they did.

The cost of energy will eventually reach the point where very many people won't be able to pay it as it'll be most of their income.
