Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 23 January 2023 to Question 126778 on Energy: Licensing, if he will take steps to ensure that Ofgem publishes an update on the compliance action being taken against energy suppliers found to be in breach of their licensing conditions, including an update on actions taken since November 2022.

Ofgem, as the independent energy regulator, regularly monitors how energy suppliers operate in the energy market and where necessary, can take enforcement action on energy suppliers who systematically fail to meet their licence obligations. Following Market Compliance Reviews, Ofgem requires energy suppliers with any weaknesses to take action to improve upon their performance by creating and implementing an improvement plan. Ofgem will publish updates to this work on 27^th January 2023.
