Energy suppliers must include on bills and other communications to domestic customers information about the savings they can make by moving to their supplier’s cheapest tariff.

Suppliers are not required to provide any additional written communications to recipients of the Warm Home Discount scheme concerning switching to the lower tariff, and Ofgem does not monitor suppliers’ tariff communications with scheme recipients.
