Energy
Hundreds of consumers - both households and small businesses - come to our advice service for help with their energy issues every day. This gives us unique real-time insight into the problems facing energy consumers in Great Britain.
We conduct research and analysis to get a better understanding of these problems and then help solve them by engaging directly with industry, changing government and regulatory policy as well as supporting consumers to navigate the market.
