Petition Action

Apply cost control to energy providers

Petition Details

Energy companies are increasing costs to customers with very little control applied, whilst still reaping ever increasing profits. This is leading to fuel poverty for many people in the country, and affecting everyone's standard of living.

Additional Information

Cap energy provider profits, so that if they exceed, anything remaining will be recirculated to reduce consumer costs

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the cost of energy, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

An energy price cap already applies to energy customers on their supplier's basic energy tariff, to stop energy companies from making excessive profits and ensure customers pay a fair price for their energy. You can find out more about how this works here: www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-consumers/energy-advice-households/check-if-energy-price-cap-affects-you

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
