An Oldham councillor has sent an open letter to Ofgem<\/a> urging it to remove prepayment meters for thousands of households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as pay-as-you-go meters, these were intended to allow people to control the amount they spend on energy at their own pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though some who have been forced into using prepayment meters have been unable to pay and are left without energy amid the cost-of-living crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the open letter, Councillor Amanda Chadderton wrote: “I support Citizens Advice\u2019s calls for a total ban on the forced installation of new prepayment meters until additional safeguards are put in place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Amanda Chadderton – Oldham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‘I urge Ofgem to act now’<\/p>Councillor Amanda Chadderton<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is following a report from Citizen’s Advice where they reported: “600,000 people were forced onto a prepayment meter for debt in 2022, compared to 380,000 in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And we predict that more than 160,000 more people could be moved onto a prepayment meter by the end of this winter if no further action is taken.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CA’s report found the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • More than two million people are being disconnected from their energy supply at least once a month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 in 3 (33%) people on prepayment meters said that they had disconnected at least once in the past year because they could not afford to top up. This equates to more than 3 million people, or 1 person every 10 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The council is supporting those who are unable to keep up to date on payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Oldham Labour’s We Can Help<\/em> programme has invested more money to support Oldham residents. This is a \u00a33m investment to tackle the cost-of-living crisis in Oldham which means the Council can now support more people who are struggling with heating their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Councillor Chadderton added: “Please don\u2019t sit in the cold and dark \u2013 use one of the warm spaces open across Oldham and talk to Citizens Advice about what help you can get.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
