Hundreds of households to get energy bill refunds totalling £800,000 after being overcharged

Hundreds of households across the UK are due refunds after two renewable energy suppliers overcharged their customers.

Energy regulator Ofgem found that customers with Good Energy and F&S Energy were charged an 'unauthorised administration' fee. The issue affects customers on Feed-in Tariffs (FIT), which are renewable energy deals available to properties with the likes of solar panels and wind turbines.

The FIT scheme was introduced by the Government in 2010 to promote renewable energy, and allows customers to sell the electricity they generate from home. Good Energy and F&S Energy will now refund a total of £800,000 to customers after the error, The Mirror reports.
