2025-02-2513 min全球新聞快報警告：電力和燃氣供應商若繼續違規收費將遭罰警告：電力和燃氣供應商若繼續違規收費將遭罰
最近有消息指出，電力和燃氣供應商如果繼續給客戶寄送無權收取的帳單，將會面臨罰款。英國的能源監管機構Ofgem在BBC的報導中表示，正在要求大型供應商的執行長解釋有多少人收到了所謂的“補發帳單”。所謂的補發帳單，就是客戶在過去12個月內使用的能源被重新計費的情況，但這種做法早在七年前就已經被禁止。Ofgem的一位高層表示，聽到這些案例時，他感到非常震驚與失望。儘管禁令已經實施，但依然有成千上萬的人遭受到這種不當的補發帳單。供應商雖然道歉，但每個月仍有數千萬的帳單被寄出。近期能源大臣Ed Miliband也向監管機構寫信，要求挑戰這種非法的補發帳單行為。如果你收到補發帳單，記得這違反了Ofgem的規定，根本不需要支付超過12個月前的電費。公民建議你可以寫信或發郵件給供應商，解釋狀況，他們也提供一個信件範本給大家參考。
未來半年內，這個補發帳單的事件可能將變得更加嚴重，隨著更多的投訴進來，政府可能會對能源供應商實施更嚴的人事調查與懲罰。這樣一來，消費者的信任度受損，可能會導致供應商的客戶流失。而在股市方面，與能源供應相關的公司，例如台灣的中油，可能會受到輿論影響，導致消費者對其信任度下降，進而影響股價走勢。不過具體的影響還需要看後續監管的動作與供應商的應對方式。
以上是與您分享的資訊，我們下則新聞見。

There has never been a more urgent time to review your tariff and consider switching to a cheaper supplier.

In this podcast, Nicolò Rossetto (FSR) and Joe Perkins (Ofgem) discuss the British experience with inventive regulation for energy grids.
In 2010, Ofgem launched a major reassessment of the regulatory framework for energy grids. The analysis showed how the incentive regulation introduced in the 1990s had both merits and drawbacks. Among the latter, a difficulty to promote investments in innovation was apparent.
Building on such analysis, Ofgem decided to change the regulatory framework for grids and a...
