Rejected petition Regulate pricing of energy companies

More details

Energy prices continue to increase and amongst the worst affected are the elderly and low income individuals and families. Many of these vulnerable people simply cannot afford to pay for gas and electricity, especially through the Winter months. This is a petition for the Government to introduce new regulations which specify a single pricing structure for gas and electricity providers and abolish standing charges.
