Energy UK statement following meeting with Government to discuss energy bills

Following today’s meeting, Dhara Vyas, Energy UK’s Director of Advocacy, said:

“The latest bill projections for this winter are extremely worrying: both the Government and the energy sector know that we need to work together and act quickly to put in more support for them.

“While energy suppliers continue to do all they can to support customers, they know that more people than ever will struggle to afford their bills and so the demand for extra help will far outstrip the support that is in place.

“Today’s meeting was very welcome and the whole energy sector is committed to working with Government over the coming weeks to see what measures can be put in place to reduce the burden on customers.”
