Petition Action

Stop OFGEM from raising fuel bills by £16 in April 2024 to cover consumer debts.

Petition Details

It is immoral to charge non debt consumers for bad debts incurred by others. Bad debt should come out of the Companies profits or be written off. I ask HM Government to step in and stop this unfair tax on consumers who are not in debt,

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about the energy price cap are a matter for Ofgem, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Ofgem is consulting on its proposals to add a temporary allowance in the energy price cap for additional bad debt-related costs. You can find out more about these proposals, and respond to Ofgem's consultation here: www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/energy-price-cap-additional-debt-costs-review-consultation
