Rejected petition Apply cost control to energy providers
Energy companies are increasing costs to customers with very little control applied, whilst still reaping ever increasing profits. This is leading to fuel poverty for many people in the country, and affecting everyone's standard of living.
More details
Cap energy provider profits, so that if they exceed, anything remaining will be recirculated to reduce consumer costs
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the cost of energy, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
An energy price cap already applies to energy customers on their supplier's basic energy tariff, to stop energy companies from making excessive profits and ensure customers pay a fair price for their energy.
