Replace the energy cap
I want the government or parliament to put a cap back on to energy providers so bills are capped.
I want the government to do this because the energy prices are now soaring, I am a single parent with 2 children, I have a professional career as a social worker and I fear the drastic increases will push me into poverty. For example my energy bills will rise by £747.56 per year from March. An extra £70+ each month.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The energy price cap is still in place, it has just increased to reflect increased prices of gas. The energy cap is set by Ofgem, which is operationally independent of the Government and Parliament.
You can find out more about the increase to the energy price cap here: www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/price-cap-increase-ps693-april
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
