The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support people who use a pre-payment energy meter.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

We are delivering the £150 Warm Home Discount to eligible customers – including those with Pre Payment Meters – to support them with their bills.

Ofgem has introduced stringent rules for the involuntary installation of Pre Payment Meters, helping to ensure vulnerable households are protected. Through our review of Ofgem, we will make sure that the regulator is a proper consumer champion that stands up for the interests of billpayers across the country.
