We are Britainβs independent energy regulator.
Our role is to protect consumers now and in the future by working to deliver a greener, fairer energy system.
UPDATE: Britain's electricity system continued to operate without disruption during June's extreme heat, but it is important that concerns raised about system operation are fully examined.
Two pieces of work are now underway.
It will examine the weather conditions, system operation and operational decisions made during the event, assess compliance with relevant security standards, identify lessons for the future and determine whether further investigation or enforcement action is required.
So much of staying on top of your energy bills comes down to keeping in touch with your supplier.
Keeping your details up to date and reaching out early can unlock support, flexible payments, and better deals.
Staying connected can save you money.
There are many different schemes in place to help you pay your energy bills, as well as benefits, grants and help offered by the government and energy suppliers.
