What the petition asks
Remove a body that’s not fit for purpose and will cripple our country inadvertently pushing us into a 3rd world state. The energy caps are perverse and the reverse of what a price cap is considering the profit levels of the energy provider owners like Centrica/Shell
Solar and green power options should be a choice and not forced on us all. It is a pointless act whilst you have industries chugging out greenhouse gases in economies like China and India.
Until a global change is agreed on the current net zero policy is a virtue signalling death-knell to many of us regardless of our income levels.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want Ofgem to be replaced, but it's not clear what you want to be different about a new energy regulator.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
