USPA NEWS - Ed Miliband promised his Labour voters that he will freeze gas and electricity bills for 20 months if he wins the 2015 general election. This was welcome by consumers who have long time been angry about the high price of gas and electricity. The suppliers have warned of a blackout if it happens.

The suppliers have warned that tis could have a serious impact which might lead to a blackout in the country. He agued that firms have been overcharging its customers for many years ands millions of households would benefit from the temporary cap on prices at a time when finance were under acute pressure when many were struggling to heat their homes. Labour Gas and Electricity price freeze will save an average household £120.00 and businesses £1,800.00. Speaking to BBC he quoted, "a market that isn't working" and, as the row between Labour and the energy firm escalated, he dismissed them as "unreliable witnesses" after they claimed possible blackouts. It has been welcomed by consumer groups angry at price hikes over recent years, but the "big six" suppliers warned it could have serious consequences. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24235688 Published 25th September 2013) My major concern is what will happen before the price freeze and after the price freeze. It sounds good however there are some tricky issues that i think Ed Miliband need to explain in detail.
