Regulator says cut has been driven by £2.1bn of savings it has secured from companies that run Britain’s electricity network
Bills are to be reduced by £12 a year on average after new price controls were agreed by five of the six companies that run Britain’s electricity network.
Ofgem said the cut had been driven by £2.1bn of savings it had secured from the companies’ business plans since last year. The regulator’s proposals will see the distribution companies spend £17bn to upgrade and maintain Britain’s local electricity network.
