Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said: "This is a bold intervention that will provide huge relief for many and prevent millions of households being left in the cold. However, even with this help, it's likely that some consumers will still struggle to afford higher energy bills this winter and the government may need to provide additional support for those on low incomes. "As part of their plans to shake up the energy market, the government must commit to reform retail energy pricing so it works for the long-term. These reforms should include protecting those on low incomes as well as reviewing how standing charges and tariffs for prepayment customers could be made fairer. "The government must also go all out to turbocharge the adoption of energy efficiency measures, such as home insulation, and make sure that a temporary suspension of green levies does not delay the UK's transition away from fossil fuels."
