Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at Uswitch.com, comments:
“This proposed fine sends a very clear message to all providers about the importance of paying promptly into environmental schemes, playing a part in hitting the country’s net zero carbon emissions targets.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has put great pressure on energy suppliers - especially the smaller ones like Symbio Energy. But late payments sound alarm bells and can often be an early sign that a supplier is struggling with its finances.”
