Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Act 2018
Summary
This Act sets a legal limit on how much energy companies can charge household customers for gas and electricity bills. It prevents prices rising too high and gives people protection from sudden, massive increases in their energy costs.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing rules that stop energy companies from charging household customers too much for gas and electricity. It protects people on standard tariffs from unfair price increases and helps families keep their energy bills affordable.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry the price cap might discourage energy companies from investing in new services or improving their networks. Some argue it could reduce competition and innovation in the energy market, or lead to less choice for customers.
