Energy: Prices

Asked by Martin WrigleyLiberal DemocratDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 9 June 2026UIN 5501

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing forecasts for peak time pricing in the energy sector.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

No specific assessment has been made. Forecasting peak‑times and setting pricing and tariffs accordingly for consumers to engage with is something already undertaken by energy suppliers and aggregators.
