British Gas: Meters
(asked on 2nd February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent discussion he has had with British Gas on the forced instalment of prepayment meters.
This question was answered on 9th February 2023
I met with British Gas and Ofgem to discuss this matter. Ofgem has now issued a Provisional Order, preventing British Gas from installing any more pre-payment meters under warrant. All domestic suppliers have been asked to pause the installation of pre-payment meters under warrant until they have assured Ofgem that they are compliant with all relevant regulations and obligations.
