Around 18,000 households are set to receive £4 million in compensation after the regulator found suppliers Ovo Energy and Good Energy had overcharged customers during the energy crisis.
Ofgem said errors by the two suppliers meant some people were charged above the maximum rates allowed under either the energy price cap or the Government’s Energy Price Guarantee scheme.
The affected households will receive a combined total of £2.7 million from the two companies while an extra £1.25 million will go to vulnerable customers in the UK.
