I asked a question about the levers available to the CRU to pass on incentives but protect consumers against increasing prices. I presume it will point towards the price comparator websites.
For example, I have been notified by constituents who were on a level pay scheme with one of the providers and now have a smart meter that they no longer have the option of the level pay scheme. Is there any indication that things are happening in the market that are counterproductive for the protection of consumers, especially those on lower incomes?
