British Gas Business To Pay £5.6m Penalty http://www.energy-broker.co.uk/british-gas-business-to-pay-5-6m-penalty/



Ofgem has fined the arm of British Gas which serves business customers for a series of failures including blocking firms from switching to other suppliers.

The energy regulator said British Gas Business would pay a total penalty of £5.6m.


It said £800,000 of that sum would be in fines, on top of £1.3m already paid to 1,200 customers who ended up paying higher bills because they were not notified when their contracts were due to expire.


A further £3.45m would go to an energy efficiency fund, Ofgem said.


It blamed a computer error for the blocking of customers wanting to switch and said the company failed to communicate properly with those affected.
