British Gas owner Centrica has posted huge profits after energy prices soared last year.

Centrica’s full-year profits hit £3.3bn for 2022, more than triple the £948m it made the year before.

Energy firms have seen record earnings since oil and gas prices jumped following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
