Energy: Meters
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of (1) forced prepay energy meter installs, and (2) forced prepay energy meter switches, that will take place this winter.
- Answer
-
The Government does not make an estimate of the number of prepayment meters installed or switched. The energy Regulator, Ofgem, has reported that the number of prepayment meters installed for debt under warrant in 2021 was 49,552.
Ofgem rules restrict the force fitting of a prepayment meter to repay debt except as a last resort.
