Probe examining gas price 'abuse'

The City watchdog is investigating claims that power companies are manipulating wholesale gas prices.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) and energy regulator Ofgem said they are both looking into the claims. Investigations have been launched after a whistleblower, named as Seth Freedman, claimed the gas market has been "regularly" manipulated by some of the big power companies, the Guardian reports.
