PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Electricity: Prices (10 October 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make it his policy for Ofgem to undertake a review of off-peak tariff pricing, in the context of the potential merits of that pricing for (a) existing customers and (b) emerging flexible electricity markets.

Asked by:
Esther McVey (Conservative)

As set out in the 2021 Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan, the Government is working with Ofgem and industry to support the increased provision of “smart” tariffs that reward consumers for changing their pattern of consumption to benefit the electricity system. We will set out next steps on the future of the retail market in due course.
