We are concerned that the costs of the Supplier of Last Resort process, which has been added to regressive standing charges on electricity bills, has increased affordability challenges for the most vulnerable customers, at the most difficult time. This is wrong. We welcome Ofgem’s recognition of the impact that regressive standing charges have on households and its review of how the Supplier of Last Resort levy is distributed. However, even if these costs are recouped on a usage basis, fuel poor, low income, and vulnerable customers with high energy demand, will still be hit hard.
