Martin v Ofgem boss: Why are energy bills so high (is it green levies?) | Scrap standing charges | Is the Price Cap a rip-off?

from The Martin Lewis Podcast · host BBC Radio 5 Live

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. If you have a question for Martin, you can ask him in his Question Time podcast! Email your question to [email protected] and you could be on the show!
