Energy UK has said households facing the greatest difficulty with bills need more support, warning that current assistance does not go far enough.
The industry body said the help available to those most in need is insufficient, highlighting concern within the energy sector about the level of support being provided to vulnerable bill-payers.
Its intervention focuses on households struggling to meet energy costs. The comments do not set out, in the material supplied, the scale of additional help being sought or the specific form any further assistance should take.
The statement is significant because it comes from an organisation representing the energy industry rather than from campaign groups or political figures. Its position adds weight to calls for the adequacy of household bill support to be reassessed.
The latest known position is that Energy UK believes existing measures fall short for those most in need. No further response or detailed policy proposal was included in the supplied material.
