UK Energy producers could face jail time if they are caught price fixing,
under a new government plan to protect consumers, RT reports.
The proposals, set out by Energy Secretary Ed Davey would make
manipulating the energy market a criminal offence, and would allow energy
regulators to prosecute individuals they suspect of artificially setting gas
and electricity rates.
Currently, energy companies can only be fined if they are caught rigging
the market.
