Energy disconnections at record low

A "large number" of consumers are in significant debt to their energy provider but disconnections have fallen to an all-time low, according to an Ofgem report.

Some 1.3 million electricity accounts and 1.1 million gas accounts - or 5% - were in debt last year, but the number of customers who have agreed repayment plans has risen, according to the regulator's annual Social Obligations Report.
