Original Note:
Although these figures are correct, important context is missing. The profit is because Ofgem allows suppliers to write off debt on energy bills that cannot be recovered. British Gas actually lost £250m from household bills due to curbs on what suppliers are able to charge. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/british-gas-profits-soar-by-889-but-not-for-the-reason-you-might-think-12928285
