Millions of people could face a 'horrific' winter if energy bills rise up to £3,000 a year this autumn, an energy boss has warned.
Keith Anderson, chief executive of Scottish Power, has called for struggling households to have their energy bills reduced by £1,000 this October and said the government's plan to give each household £200 towards their energy bill would not be enough.
He told the BBC that another expected rise in energy bills to between £2,500 and £3,000 a year could leave many customers unable to pay their bills. Meanwhile suppliers could see 'huge losses.'
