This data does not include customers who pay for their gas using a PPM as this data has not been compiled, however there are fewer gas PPMs as a whole in the market.</p><p> </p><p>The number of Prepayment Meter accounts in the GB energy market over the last five years has remained around 4.5 million. There has, however been an increase in competition in the PPM market over the past five years with PPM specialists providing greater choice for consumers beyond the six large suppliers. A cap on PPM prices was introduced in April 2017 and remains in force.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/06/2020 16:52:12 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
