Remove environmental and social obligation charges for electricity

Closed 106 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like to see all all environmental and social obligation charges for electricity, which currently account for 25% of the cost of an average electricity bill, to reduce the burden on consumers.
More individuals are struggling to pay their energy bills these charges make it harder to pay energy bills. As a result, people are falling into fuel poverty.
