answer text <p>Last year, Ofgem introduced stringent rules for the involuntary installation of prepayment meters. Under these new rules, energy suppliers are required to make at least 10 attempts to contact an indebted customer, carry out a site visit prior to involuntary installation, and refrain from installations in households where a vulnerable person is present.</p><p> </p><p>Energy suppliers are only able to restart involuntary prepayment meter installation when they can demonstrate to Ofgem that they are able to comply with the new rules. We are working with Ofgem to actively monitor the impact of these changes to involuntary installations and will continue to engage with them closely on this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Standing charges cover the costs energy suppliers take on to provide consumers with electricity. Although they are a commercial matter for suppliers, and are regulated by Ofgem, we know that too much of the burden of the bill is placed on standing charges.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has worked constructively with the regulator on the issue of standing charges, and we are committed to lowering the cost of them. Ofgem’s recently published discussion paper sets out the options for how standing charges could be reduced, including by moving some supplier operational costs off standing charges onto the unit rate, increasing the variety of tariffs available for consumer in the market, and in the longer term, reviewing how system costs are allocated. We will continue to support Ofgem in this work and ensure that standing charges are reduced.</p> more like this

These should be consistent with the principles for driver-controlled operation that the ORR has developed in consultation with train operators and trade unions. The ORR will, nonetheless, continue to keep dispatch arrangements under review to ensure any risks are mitigated effectively.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
