✋ Need support managing your energy this winter? Sign up to the Priority Services Register for extra help Help can vary based on your personal circumstances and your supplier but could include what we cover in the video below - and more! More details here👇 http://ow.ly/ommW50M33mp

PSR is not well-known enough, and that more people should be aware of it. A 2019 report by the National Audit Office found that only 40% of PSR customers had received all of the support they were entitled to. When will Ofgem start to look at what other countries are doing and innovate ? Alternative to the Priority Services Register (PSR) from Ofgem. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7114860376109760513

If Ofgem only really knew the pain it was inflicting on the most vulnerable in society. Unbelievable that the lowest users pay the largest standing charge and Ofgem have made it worse this weekend. When will they wake up to the fact that vulnerable people will not be able to afford survival payments this winter. There must be a move towards a social tariff before winter kicks in and no person should ever pay more in standing charges than they do in energy use. Why are you so blind to the damage that you are doing to society with your half baked market meddling? Martin Lewis had it right this morning… MORAL HAZARD. worth a read https://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/1818058/Martin-Lewis-energy-price-cap-standing-charge

Here’s a free idea, get a pair of handcuffs and go around to Centrica’s headquarters and arrest the CEO, following the revelations on The Times this morning. 3rd party sub-contractors are the responsibility of the contracting entity. I’m not a lawyer but I’m sure you would get a round of applause.

By "support managing your energy" do you mean advice on how to keep warm without using any because it's so expensive you can't afford to pay for it?

Getting the gas price chart the right way up would be helpful. Raising the cap when gas prices have almost halved does not seem to be motivated with the consumer in mind.

What would actually help people is if Ofgem worked for the people instead of the energy companies posting record profits. Your inaction is killing people and BP and the like are racing over their corpses on their way to the bank.

Ofgem, on the side of the oil rich businesses, not the people! Not fit for purpose! People cannot afford to hear their houses, but the companies are making record profits!

I had some questions about the supplier manufacturing energy prices. Is there somewhere I can find supplier energy manufacturing prices? I am currently researching and would appreciate anyone’s help ☺️
