flag UK energy regulator Ofgem proposes wealth-based energy bills to redistribute costs, sparking debate.

flag The UK's energy regulator, Ofgem, is considering restructuring energy bills to make higher-income households pay more towards fixed costs and offering discounts to lower-income families. flag This plan aims to distribute the financial burden of energy costs more equitably. flag However, the proposal has sparked debate over Ofgem's authority to make such policy decisions and raises privacy concerns over the need for detailed income reporting to energy providers. flag Meanwhile, energy giant EDF predicts annual energy bills could drop by £139 due to falling global gas prices, though it advises customers to consider fixed tariffs due to market volatility.
