Electricity Prices In Britain (Distribution Costs)

EDM number 539 in 2014-15, proposed by Albert Owen on 21/11/2014.
Categorised under the topic of Electricity.

That this House recognises that distribution costs form one of the largest components of electricity bills; notes that this varies considerably across the 14 areas and regions of England, Scotland and Wales; expresses concern that this differential is unjustified and further adds to the burden placed on many households; further notes suggestions that these costs be flattened out to a single standard charge for every customer across Britain so necessary investment and maintenance work is spread across the regions, resulting in a fairer outcome; and calls on the Government, stakeholders and regulators to examine and review this matter in more detail.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
