<p>The Government is tackling the loyalty penalty experienced by households who do
not shop around for their energy supply, which the Competition and Markets Authority
has estimated, creates a £1.4bn average annual detriment to those consumers. We legislated
for a price cap in 2018, which saves households £75-£100 a year on average. Ofgem,
the sector regulator, is working to make it easier and quicker for households to switch
energy deal. As set out in our Energy White Paper, the Government will introduce an
opt-in switching scheme and trial out-out switching to help more households get a
better deal on their energy.</p>
