BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, Keeping the Lights On

The government has promised the power will stay on this winter. But at what cost?

The business secretary says talk of shortages is 'alarmist', but admits some power firms will go bust as gas prices soar. Sean looks into what it means for industry and customers.

The wholesale price of gas continues to rise amid government promises that power outages will be avoided this winter. Sean talks to boss of energy company Utilita and finds out what we can all do to protect ourselves against rising bills.

Meanwhile the US president has lifted the travel ban on Brits entering the US. One boss tells Sean how he's looking forward to a return of business travel.
And Universal Music, home of Ariana Grande and the Rolling Stones makes its stock market debut today.
