Cheaper energy 取引，協定s could be 支援する by winter as Ofgem 計画（する）s to bring 支援する 競争
- Energy 法案s are still high partly because of Ofgem 支配するs brought in during 2022

Cheaper energy 取引，協定s could return by this winter as regulator Ofgem 計画（する）s to 捨てる 支配するs propping up 注目する，もくろむ-watering prices.
At the moment, part of the 推論する／理由 so many people's gas and electricity 法案s 普通の／平均（する） £1,690 a year on energy price cap 関税s is that Ofgem 支配するs mean energy 会社／堅いs cannot 申し込む／申し出 cheaper 取引，協定s to new 顧客s, unless they also 申し込む／申し出 them to 存在するing ones too.
Ofgem brought in this '禁止（する） on 取得／買収-only 関税s', or BAT, in October 2022 to stop energy 会社／堅いs from using the classic 手段 of undercutting one another to 調印する up new 顧客s.
Now the energy regulator wants to 捨てる the 禁止（する）, to encourage cheaper 直す／買収する，八百長をするd energy 取引，協定s as first 明らかにする／漏らすd by This is Money.?
Racking up: UK 世帯s have been grappling with sky-high energy 法案s since late 2021
Ofgem is 協議するing on 計画（する）s to end the 禁止（する） by 1 October, ahead of its natural end point in March 2025.
The regulator said that '保持するing the BAT is no longer necessary for market 安定 and is likely to result in 逮捕する costs to 消費者s through 増加するd prices'.

What does the 禁止（する） on 取得／買収-only 関税s do??
The point is to stop energy 会社／堅いs from 申し込む／申し出ing cheap 直す／買収する，八百長をするd-率 取引，協定s which could become unsustainable if volatile energy prices suddenly 転換d.
A sudden 転換 in prices meant dozens of energy 会社／堅いs 崩壊（する）d?in late 2021 予定 to 存在 軍隊d to sell 顧客s 力／強力にする for いっそう少なく than they could buy it for.?
Ofgem 手配中の，お尋ね者 to stop more energy 会社／堅いs from 崩壊（する）ing, as at one point there was a very real 危険 that the UK could be left with no energy companies at all.
But the 貿易（する）-off was that energy prices remained high for 顧客s.?
The 禁止（する） led energy 会社／堅いs to be more 保守的な with their prices, though some critics have （刑事）被告 them of 不当利得行為.
As a result, いっそう少なく than 3 per cent of 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 率 取引，協定s work out cheaper than the Ofgem energy price cap - and many come with high 出口 料金s for those wanting to switch.?
What does this mean for energy 法案s?
In theory, 除去するing the 禁止（する） should give energy 会社／堅いs the incentive to bring in genuinely 競争の激しい 取引，協定s, rather than those that hover around the level of the Ofgem price cap.
The energy price cap is 始める，決める by regulator Ofgem and 限界s how much 会社／堅いs can 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 世帯s on variable-率 energy 取引，協定s 支払う／賃金ing by direct debit, for both 部隊s of gas and electricity and standing 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s.
分析家s at Cornwall Insight 予報する that the 普通の／平均（する） price-capped 法案 will 落ちる to £1,559.61 a year in July.
It is then 予測（する） to rise to £1,636.44 in October and 辛勝する／優位 up わずかに again to £1,634.20 in January 2025.
However, Ofgem has 警告するd that scrapping the BAT does not mean the UK will see the return of 最高の-cheap energy 取引，協定s that were ありふれた before late 2021.
The regulator said that its other 支配するs, 含むing one on how much cash energy 会社／堅いs have to keep in reserve, 'will have
the 影響 of 妨げるing a return to unsustainable price 競争 and 過度の 危険 taking'.
Richard Neudegg, director of 規則 at Uswitch.com, said: 'Getting rid of the BAT in October 先触れ（する）s good news for 世帯s 捜し出すing cheaper energy 法案s.
'With a final 決定／判定勝ち（する） from Ofgem 予定 in July, this move is a no-brainer to 改善する the chances of decent 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 取引，協定s in time for winter.
'軍隊ing providers to 申し込む／申し出 the same energy 取引，協定s to new and 存在するing 顧客s has meant that 供給者s have been encouraged to give up 配達するing cheap 取引，協定s.
'But with the price cap changing every three months, 消費者s 猛烈に need good-value 直す／買収する，八百長をする 選択s to give them more certainty on their 法案s.'
