Rejected petition Introduce an energy price cap for small business.

Businesses are facing a catastrophic Winter reporting 400-500% increases in energy bills. This is making many normally profitable businesses unviable and will lead to closures and job losses over the coming months, particularly in hospitality and retail.

More details

We want the government to introduce an energy price cap immediately for small businesses similar to those of domestic bills to prevent business closures and unfair price increases.
