The men who set the price of gas have predicted gas prices will rise by about 40%.
The bosses of Britain's six biggest energy companies told MPs the only control they had over the price of gas was deciding how much they were going to charge people for using it.
Paul Golby, chief executive of E.ON, said: "Given the volatile nature of the current market and the knock-on effect of high oil prices, it's very difficult, at this stage, to predict how much more money I'm going to want.
"As a very rough, ballpark figure I would say I'm probably going to want about 40% more money."
