Ofgem has rejected an amendment to the Uniform Network Code that would allow gas shippers to adjust consumption estimates for some non-domestic customers to reflect their drop in usage as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The regulator said the modification would shift costs onto households, many of which have been using more gas during the lockdown, and could also be abused by shippers to gain an advantage over competitors.
