There's a report on the news today suggesting a annual charge to consumers of £17 to stop energy firms going bust 

BBC News - Energy bills could rise by £17 to stop firms going bust
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67087043

This is already on top of the extra £82 to cover the costs of making sure that households were not cut off imposed in 2021. 

It feels like OFGEN aren't putting the consumers first and are in fact working with energy suppliers to protect their profits.

One would expect and hope that in a fair world OFGEN would look to protect the interests of the suppliers by leveraging a charge on their profits to keep them buoyant rather than charging the end user more to stop their supplier closing?

Thought that was for the ludicrous increase in the daily standing charge to pay for all those providers who went bust, and now they want to introduce an Annual Charge. They're having a laugh at the consumer who they are supposed to work in the interests of. Honestly, Ofgem needs to be removed as they are nothing but a liability to the consumer.

    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond
