Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the guidance by Ofgem entitled Involuntary PPM: Supplier Code of Practice, published on 18 April 2023, whether Ofgem plans to publish supplier board reports on all activities related to involuntary prepayment meter installation.

Under Ofgem’s Supplier Code of Practice, Supplier Boards must have regular and ongoing oversight of all activities related to Involuntary PPM. This must include Director level sign-off of reporting provided to Ofgem. It is a matter for Ofgem as the independent regulator, but Government will be watching closely to see that this is enforced, as required.
