Closed petition Make it illegal for energy providers to charge more per unit for pre-paid energy

Closed on 3 January 2021

Energy providers often charge higher rates per unit to customers on pre-payments energy meters. This is unacceptable as it is normally people who are on low incomes who are not permitted to change to a credit meter. Essentially these are additional costs placed upon those who can least afford them.

Ensure that pre payment customers are treated fairly and that the per unit charge is no more than the equivalent unit charge for a credit meter customer.
