	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what were the outcomes of the round-table event convened by Ofgem on 29 October on price differences between various payment methods for domestic consumers of electricity and gas, particularly in relation to addressing the higher fuel costs of pre-payment meters.

	uin	HL2852
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>There was general agreement at the workshop that payment differentials was a complex issue and that any changes to the rules would create winners or losers with no clear benefit to vulnerable groups. For example, of households who were fuel poor in England in 2012, around 48% paid for their electricity and 40% paid for their gas through direct debit and around 27% paid for their electricity and 20% paid for their gas through prepayment meters. Changing rules in favour of pre-payment meter customers would make direct debit customers worse-off.</p><p>Ofgem intend to circulate a note from the event to participants within the next week. As part of their ongoing work programme on vulnerability, they are planning a series of workshops to focus on other important issues in the future.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 27/11/2014 12:31:23 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The decision to pass on any costs incurred while switching a customer’s supply is a commercial decision for the company. Energy suppliers do not require an upfront payment from customers on a credit meter who are switching to them. Some suppliers will charge if an incoming customer wants to switch from a prepayment meter to a credit meter. The following table shows the energy supply companies that do make such charges and the level of that charge. These suppliers may waive charges for vulnerable consumers or in certain circumstances.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><em>Supplier </em></p></td><td><p><em>Charge for gas PPM </em></p></td><td><p><em>Charge for electricity PPM </em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Npower</strong></p></td><td><p>£60</p></td><td><p>£60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Scottish Power</strong></p></td><td><p>£62.90</p></td><td><p>£45.91</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>SSE</strong></p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Co-op</strong></p></td><td><p>£69.02</p></td><td><p>£66.15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Ebico</strong></p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td><td><p>£52.00</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 24/11/2014 16:39:06 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
