British Gas: Billing

Asked by Josh SimonsLabourDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 17 September 2024UIN 4800

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had discussions with Ofgem on British Gas's billing system migration; and whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of that migration on customers.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Regulation of energy suppliers is a matter for Ofgem. All retail energy suppliers are required to meet the standard license conditions set out by Ofgem which detail the minimum standards customers must be provided. Suppliers are expected to provide customers with clear and easily understandable ways to contact them about a problem, question or other request for assistance.
