Ed Miliband does not understand job, say energy bosses - Times Online

Power industry bosses have accused the Energy Minister of failing to understand the market and of ignoring them at a time when the industry is being asked to pour £100 billion into Britain’s ageing infrastructure.

Senior industry sources said that Ed Miliband, who was appointed as head of the new Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) on October 3, had repeatedly rejected requests for meetings with the heads of Britain’s biggest energy supply companies.

They also accused him of “shooting from the hip” on issues such as price cuts before he had had time to develop a proper understanding of the pressures the industry is facing. “It’s pretty clear that he doesn’t understand the market,” one said.
