GB News: Martin Lewis slams '£388 poll tax on energy bills' as Ofgem pledges to tackle 'unfair' tariffs
Martin Lewis criticized energy standing charges, labeling them a "£388-a-year poll tax," which disproportionately impacts low-energy users and vulnerable households. Ofgem's upcoming proposals aim to introduce tariffs without standing charges to help manage rising energy debt, which has surged to £3.82 billion.
While some suppliers already offer lower or no standing charge options, Lewis urged energy firms to automatically switch low-use customers to these tariffs. He emphasized the need for better support for struggling customers as energy debt becomes increasingly common, with average arrears rising significantly.
