Ofgem extends ban on acquisition-only tariffs, maintains high energy bills for UK households.
The UK's energy regulator Ofgem has extended its ban on acquisition-only tariffs for another year, keeping energy bills high for existing customers. The price cap has risen to £1,717 annually for dual-fuel households, prompting concerns over affordability. Many customers are unaware of available support programs, and British Gas is offering community events to aid those struggling with bills. Energy suppliers must assist customers facing financial difficulties, including payment plans and advice, but disconnection remains a last resort.
