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 energy bills, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to bring these down.
The Government has already announced an ‘Energy Price Guarantee’, which will mean a typical UK household will now pay up to an average £2,500 a year on their energy bill for the next two years: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-announces-energy-price-guarantee-for-families-and-businesses-while-urgently-taking-action-to-reform-broken-energy-market
