The Government must urgently: 1️⃣ #BanForcedPPMs now. 2️⃣ Set out steps for consumers to remove #prepayment meters installed by this process at no cost. 3️⃣ Launch an inquiry into what has happened, evidence used by #energy firms to assess vulnerability and the role of magistrates.

Last summer, average bills were £1,971 meaning #energy will be 5.23% more expensive in summer 2023. And as the cost of living crisis continues, people are even less able to afford these high #energybills .

A minister has just told the BBC: "today is a positive day. The price cap has come down." ⬆️ Compared to winter 2020/21 the cost of every unit of energy used is around double what it was. ⬆️ Daily standing charges for gas are up 8% and for electricity up 119%. ⬆️ Energy debt

Millions left out in the cold following today's #Budget : 💷 Everyone pays £285 more for #energybills in 2023/24 than this winter. ⚡️ Standard credit customers pay £202 more & some regions pay 7% more than others. 🏘️ Household #energy debt grows to £2.7bn.

Energy bills still set to rise despite Budget

Energy bills are calculated to rise by £285 a year for the coming financial year 2023/24 according to ECIU. This is despite a Government u-turn on the Energy Price Guarantee which was due to increase

Here's one simple idea @ofgem could introduce to help people who have over-paid on their energy bills direct debit... 💡 An automatic refund every June on credit balances (unless a customer opts out). It's backed by over two-thirds of the public.

Inflation may now be at 2%, but energy bills remain at levels 50-60% above 2021. Leaving households £2,500 out of pocket. People have less ability to pay these very high prices as the cost of living crisis continues and energy debt reaches new highs.

Customers out of pocket due to Britain’s broken energy system

Energy bills are 50% higher than in 2021 and are predicted to increase again from 1 October due to Britain's broken energy system.
