Energy: Debts
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what the average amount of outstanding prepayment meter debt for (a) electricity and (b) gas home energy customers was in (i) the UK, (ii) Scotland, (iii) England, (iv) Wales and (v) Northern Ireland in each year from May 2010 up to the most recent period for which records are available.
- Answer
-
The Department does not hold information on the average amount of outstanding prepayment meter debt.
Ofgem closely monitors domestic energy suppliers’ performance and publishes information in relation to debt, but they do not publish data showing the average amount of outstanding debt by payment method such as prepayment meters, or by customers living in Scotland, England or Wales. Ofgem does not monitor the gas and electricity supply market in Northern Ireland as it is a devolved matter.
