Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risk that energy suppliers may collude with landlords in a way which is detrimental to tenants, and what steps they are taking to prevent this.

Ofgem has guidance for tenants, setting out their energy rights, and includes rules regarding the resale of energy to third parties, such as tenants. Landlords, being the property owners, are the legal parties in contracts with energy suppliers. The Department's energy policy does not regulate landlords.
