Response to Ofgem's statutory consultation on potential short-term interventions to address risks to consumers from market volatility 219 KB

We strongly opposed its suggestion that exit fees should be introduced on default tariffs, but provided support for a proposal that suppliers should be required to offer all their new tariffs to existing customers.
