Ofgem has recently published a report on regional differences in the way costs for transporting energy are recovered from bills. This follows the previous Energy and Climate Change Select Committee’s inquiry into energy network costs. The report provides information for the Committee and other stakeholders as to why energy consumers in different parts of Great Britain pay different electricity and gas distribution network charges.
