PREPAYMENT BREAKTHROUGH
In amongst these Budget announcements are some real breakthroughs.
Prepayment meters have been a real issue for those on low incomes. Those on prepayment meters should not pay more for their energy than comparable customers who pay by direct debit.
That’s why I’m delighted that the Energy Price Guarantee will rightly be adjusted from 1 July to remove this difference and end the prepayment meter premium.
A victory for common sense!
