🔎 A Loophole That Cost Billpayers BILLIONS Citizens Advice’s analysis of Ofgem data has revealed energy network firms have made tens of billions in profits. A specific loophole in Ofgem’s price controls has handed them an extra £4 billion windfall at the expense of struggling households.

Ofgem failed us—now we have a chance to fix it. They let suppliers rake in millions while bills soared and even forced prepay meters on vulnerable people. Now, the Government is reviewing Ofgem - let’s make sure they can never fail us again.

There's an Ofgem review RIGHT NOW. Energy company regulation isn't working❌ Ofgem stood by as bills skyrocketed and suppliers raked in millions in profits & broke into vulnerable people's homes to forcibly install prepayment meters Demand real change👇 act.38degrees.org.uk/act/ofgem-fo...
