Electricity: Park Homes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government plans to reform the regulatory framework governing the resale of electricity on residential park home sites.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The Government is very clear that resellers such as landlords should not profit from reselling energy to consumers. The maximum price at which gas or electricity can be resold to domestic consumers is the same price that the reseller (such as the park home site operator) paid for it, including standing charges. This Maximum Resale Pricing (MRP) provides transparency and protections for consumers and is a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator.
Currently, consumers who suspect that MRP has been breached can request evidence from landlords, review bills and contracts and, if necessary, pursue disputes through tribunals or civil courts.
However, Ofgem realise that enforcement mechanisms are failing to protect some consumers. Ofgem’s current review of the MRP sought views on fair pricing and consumer protection, with a policy consultation planned for Summer 2026.
