Plumber 24 Hours Responds to Energy Reforms

(PRWEB UK) 26 June 2013

As reported in Telegraph on June 21 in the article Simpler Bills By Summer In Radical Energy Reforms, the energy regulator Ofgem has introduced new regulations which will be put in place by the summer.

These new regulations will see energy companies offering four principal tariffs in place of the various price plans currently on offer. Alongside this, energy companies will have to inform customers of how much they can save by moving to a cheaper tariff. Ofgem has also introduced a comparison rate to allow customers to easily compare the tariffs on offer from different energy companies. Unless these reforms are put under appeal by energy companies, the reforms will be put in place by this summer and changes to tariffs effective by the end of the year.

These changes follow the recent years of many households being faced with rising heating bills. According to the Telegraph, utility bills have risen by at least 300 over the last three years.

A senior partner at Ofgem, Andrew Wright, described the reforms to the Telegraph as the blueprint for the simpler, cleaner and fairer energy market that consumers deserve, adding that this will provide them with the choice they want alongside the simplicity they need.

The experts at Plumber 24 Hours, who are well-known for their Romford emergency plumbers, have a keen interest in developments in the industry, and a representative for the company shared their thoughts on the reforms:

These new reforms are good news for the many customers who currently struggle with their energy bills. Simpler tariffs under these reforms mean that customers should be able to easily see which energy company works better for them. Any change which simplifies this process for customers is a welcome one.
