Costs to compensate energy companies who take on customers from failed suppliers have resulted in an average increase in domestic electricity bills by £34.36 in 2022-23.
Senior Analyst Laura Woolsey spoke to iNews on what needs to change if we are to protect both consumers and companies.
We need to see more than short-term fixes, we need long-term reform. This includes seriously considering the future of the default tariff cap, which is currently working as a barrier to the success of smaller energy firms, and not safeguarding the cost of energy bills. Ultimately if more suppliers fail, consumers will be the ones left with the bill.
