Big energy companies face fines over sales methods
Two of Scotland’s biggest energy firms are facing fines running into hundreds of millions of pounds after the industry watchdog announced it was investigating claims customers had been mis-sold deals.
The Ofgem inquiry into ScottishPower and Scottish and Southern Energy, as well as npower and EDF Energy, was launched after the regulator received reports that the four suppliers could be breaching their obligations governing door-to-door and telephone sales.
