In response to Ofgem’s energy price cap rise, Eva Watkinson, Head of Campaign at Debt Justice said:
It’s a scandal that while energy companies continue to post enormous profits, Ofgem is increasing the price cap, leaving consumers paying more for their energy. Millions of people are still facing unpayable energy debts with little support. The government has been dragging its feet over introducing an energy debt write-off scheme for over 18 months now. It must immediately act to write off debts that have built up during the cost of living crisis and bring down eyewatering energy bills.
