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.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.

    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
