CMA heat networks announcement “another step towards meaningful regulation”, says Citizens Advice

23 Gorffennaf 2018

Citizens Advice has responded to the Competition and Markets Authority announcement on the regulation of heat networks.

Gillian Guy, Chief Executive at Citizens Advice, said:

“Today’s announcement is another step towards meaningful regulation for consumers who have gone too long without adequate protections.

“While many heat networks work well and provide good value for money, too many people suffer with high bills, poor customer service and no clear way to resolve complaints.

“The number of heat networks is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, making the need for a regulatory regime that is fit for purpose even more important. Transparency over billing, protection from expensive bills and the same level of protections people enjoy for other energy services are essential to achieving this.”
