Cut the cost of energy by reducing the energy cap significantly
we wish parliament to cut the energy price cap significantly, by reducing the cap it will help with the cost of living for every household in the UK.
Ofgem has announced record energy price caps of 54% and 80% this will plunge millions of households into serious financial hardship, Ofgem has called for urgent and decisive action, we the people demand urgent action. The recent 80% price cap announcement on the 26/06/2022 will make many people in society suffer fuel poverty and will punish people who have pre payment metres even more this cannot be permitted to happen to the most vulnerable in society especially the disabled.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The calculation of the energy price cap is a matter for the regulator Ofgem, which is operationally independent of the UK Government and House of Commons. You can find out more about how the price cap is calculated here: www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-consumers/energy-advice-households/check-if-energy-price-cap-affects-you.
