Default Energy bills rising due to lack of gas from Europe

What Ofgem has raised concerns about is whether continental energy businesses were making all the gas available to the pipeline that they might have. Whether "European gas companies withheld surplus supplies, preventing more flowing to the UK". Whether a decision to stockpile gas, rather than blowing it to Blighty, was "reasonable".
It would appear that rising energy bills are partly because of artificial tampering by companies in our European neighbours.
