answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2023 answer text <p>The Energy Bill introduces a regulatory framework for heat networks. Under the proposed regulatory framework, Ofgem will be given new powers to regulate prices in this sector. The legislation contains the ability for government to set minimum efficiency standards for heat networks. Ofgem will also have powers to set rules requiring heat networks to disclose publicly sufficient information to the consumer to understand how much they are paying. This includes fixed charges, tariffs, and unit rates, and clear explanations about how prices are set and how heat network consumers are billed.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 31/01/2023 16:36:07 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2023 answer text <p>Prepayment meters (PPMs) allow customers to pay for energy on a pay-as-you-go basis and serve an important function by helping avoid debt and court action. A ban on PPM switching as a last resort could lead to an increase in bailiff action. There are no plans to remove this option.</p><p> </p><p>Ofgem has stringent rules on the force-fitting of PPMs. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State has written to Ofgem asking it to conduct a review to make sure suppliers are complying with those rules. The Business Secretary has also asked energy suppliers to commit voluntarily to stopping this practice.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 31/01/2023 13:53:12 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
