A consultation is set to open this summer allowing people to give feedback on the proposals.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has responded to an online petition calling on the UK Government to require all energy firms to offer a fixed monthly rate for older people and those with a disability. More than 13,300 people showed support for the proposal, posted by William Conway on the official petitions-parliament website.
The official response on petitions-parliament said: “Although the Government does not determine the market price of energy, which is set by global market conditions, we are fully aware of the continued impact that high energy prices are having on all consumers. It also recognised that “some households include vulnerable people who may be elderly, be disabled or have a medical condition that leads to higher energy costs.”
