<p>Progress has been made in recent years to improve competition in the domestic retail gas with households now having a choice of around 55 companies supplying gas. Smaller suppliers are continuing to grow their market share and now have just over 18% of the domestic retail gas market.</p><p>We have reduced by half the time it takes to switch suppliers and are working with Ofgem to move to even faster and more reliable switching. Ofgem are working on developing better ways to engage consumers and on 3 July announced trials to help customers on expensive standard tariffs find and switch to cheaper energy deals.</p>
