Ofgem will launch a call for input to address affordability and debt issues in the energy market. At the official launch of the call for input today (11 March) the regulator will say it is “very concerned that struggling households have a limited ability to cope with future price shocks”. In particular, Ofgem will say that costs of building a cleaner energy system risks “disproportionately hit[ting] lower income consumers that are not able to invest in the technologies or change behaviours to reduce costs without further action”.
