'Fat cat' energy firm bosses earning £12m as families struggle with rising bills
Fat cat energy firm bosses raked in almost £13million a year while customers face devastating bill rises.
The cash was pocketed by top brass such as executives and directors at the giants – with £6million of it going to just five big chiefs.
Millions face being dragged down into fuel poverty from April when typical energy bills will rocket by up to £693, to £1,971 a year.
Yet Britain’s biggest energy firms still raked in £3billion of profit in 2020 – with their bosses listed among the UK’s top earners.
And today, the Sunday People reveals the huge pay and perks they hand out, which a union has branded “repugnant bandit capitalism”.
