Energy: Meters

Asked by Andy McDonaldLabourDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 31 March 2025UIN 40166

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has received interim findings from OFGEM’s investigation into British Gas on the forced installation of prepayment meters.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Ofgem’s investigation into the involuntary installation of prepayment meters (PPMs) by British Gas is ongoing. This is a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator, and it would not be appropriate for the government to comment on an ongoing investigation.
