ENERGY firms have been accused of ripping off customers after reporting “obscene” £11billion profits amid soaring bills.
British Gas owner Centrica saw profits rise fivefold to an eye-watering £1.3bn.
And Shell’s earnings hit a record £9.5bn – doubling profits within a year.

Unions, politicians, green energy campaigners and the public blasted the huge earnings.
