Energy firms hiding behind confusing tariffs, says Ed Davey

Energy companies will be able to offer only four tariffs each for gas and electricity under government plans to get customers a better deal on energy.

The government says it wants customers placed on the cheapest available price by summer 2014 at the latest.

Energy Secretary Ed Davey said energy companies were hiding behind "complex, confusing, multiple tariffs", while promising to "get rid of that''.
