The Martin Lewis Podcast - Martin v Ofgem boss: Why are energy bills so high (is it green levies?) | Scrap standing charges | Is the Price Cap a rip-off?
It’s Martin v Ofgem this week (well, Jonathan Brearley, the boss). Martin asks Jonathan why energy bills are so high, about scrapping standing charges, who funds the regulator, writing off energy debt, issues around green energy, and loads more. It’s a jam-packed episode, also including what Martin thinks about O2 raising their prices by more than they promised, and what you should do if you’re affected.
