We are seeking your views on our proposal to update benchmark consumption used within the price cap calculations.

Consultation description

The price cap methodology requires an input assumption for the amount of energy a typical consumer uses. This is known as the price cap benchmark consumption.

Average energy consumption has fallen since the benchmark was first set. We are proposing to update the benchmark consumption to include more up to date information in future price cap calculations.

Additionally, we would like your views on the case for adapting the cap methodology to account for different levels of consumption that occur for different customer payment types.

Who should respond

We would like views from people with an interest in the price cap methodology, including energy suppliers and energy industry bodies. We would also like responses from consumer groups and charities.

How to respond

Submit your response to this consultation by 25 September 2025 by emailing retailpriceregulation@ofgem.gov.uk.
