ENERGY campaigners and suppliers have written to Ofgem to urge the regulator to not lift the ban on acquisition tariffs which offer cheapest deals to new customers only.

Energy suppliers including E.ON along with Citizens Advice, Which?, Fair by Design and the End Fuel Poverty Coalition have signed an open letter calling on Ofgem to rethink its proposal to lift the ban.

The ban was introduced by the regulator in 2022, with campaigners saying it has helped millions of customers in debt to access a better deal with their energy supplier.
