Response to Ofgem’s Proposed Forward Work Programme for 2026 to 2027 consultation

This response focuses on several priority areas where the programme can have the greatest impact on affordability, consumer protection, and outcomes. 

For 2026 to 2027, the key areas that National Energy Action believes Ofgem should focus on are as follows: 

• Reducing and preventing household energy debt 

• Retail market reform and the price cap 

• Consumer protection in an evolving market  
• Standing charges, charging reform, and fixed‑cost fairness
