What the petition asks

This is diabolical in the stresses of a pandemic, Energy firms should be made to reimburse customers
This needs to end now across all energy providers and we capped.

The likes of British Gas, Eon and many more are refusing to pause prices to which is now doubling per day, the government must take action on this because it’s unfair whilst in a pandemic.
There are people with young families who are trying to cope and heat their homes, yet the energy firms won’t listen.
They should be made to refund customers for the past three months minimum for what the charges have been.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The cost of energy is a matter for energy companies, while the energy price cap is a decision for Ofgem.
