Electricity: Prices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to have discussions with Ofgem on improving transparency in Economy 7 tariffs under the Price Cap by requiring suppliers to publish Economy 7 tariff price schedules.

Answer

A decision on whether to require suppliers to publish Economy 7 tariff price schedules is a matter for the independent regulator Ofgem.

Ofgem’s Licence Conditions require suppliers to notify customers of the domestic supply contract terms, including requiring suppliers to take all reasonable steps to inform customers of the principal terms of their supply contracts, and sending a notice if prices increase or the terms of the contract vary in a way that disadvantages the customer.
