Tory ministers will hold a crunch meeting today with energy firms over soaring bills where a windfall tax is on the table - despite Liz Truss not wanting it.
Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng will press British Gas, RWE, E.ON, SSE and National Grid for solutions as bills are expected to top £4,200 a year from January.
The pair will ask gas and electricity company executives to submit a breakdown of expected profits and payouts as well as investment plans for the next three years.
