Ofgem orders Octopus Energy to pay £1.5m for prepayment meter billing failures

Ofgem has ordered Octopus Energy to pay approximately £1.5m in redress to former prepayment meter customers for failing to issue final bills within six weeks of a supplier transfer or contract termination, as required under Standard Licensing Condition 27.17 (SLC 27.17) of the gas and electricity supply licences. This non-compliance affected 34,494 customers. The total payment comprised £231,000 for refunds of outstanding credit, £1.040m under the Guaranteed Standards of Performance (GSOP) and £212,000 in additional redress. Where it was not possible to trace a customer, Octopus Energy has agreed to make payments to the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Fund. Octopus Energy has since updated its billing processes and systems to align with SLC 27.17.

DESNZ launches consultation on electricity network infrastructure reforms

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has launched a consultation on proposed reforms to land rights and consents processes for electricity network infrastructure. The reforms aim to accelerate the deployment of future network connections, while ensuring landowners’ rights are protected. This follows a call for evidence held in August–September 2022, which sought feedback on improving current land access, rights and consents processes. The consultation sets out 12 proposed changes, including: (1) extending the standard wayleave term from 15 to 40 years; (2) increasing the permitted development threshold for substations from 29 to 45 m³; (3) shifting tree maintenance responsibilities from landowners to licence holders; (4) revising the criteria for when section 37 consent is required; (5) amending schedule 4 to the Electricity Act 1989 to facilitate the installation of cables in private streets; (6) removing 132 kV wooden pole lines from the nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIP) regime and increasing the NSIP distance threshold from 2 km to 10 km; and (7) expanding access rights to transmission owners, among others. The consultation closes on 2 September 2025.
