New chair says they serve different roles
The Office of Fair Trading says it’s been inundated with complaints from gas customers who are struggling with billing issues or disconnection threats.
The chair says the consumer body is ‘almost exclusively running a customer hotline’ to try and help Isle of Man Energy customers.
The Communications and Utilities Regulatory Authority - or CURA - regulates gas prices while the OFT deals with consumer issues.
MHK Tim Glover says there's a good reason for keeping the two separate:
Firefighters use more than 65,000 litres of water tackling four outdoor fires
Sidecar competitor confident the class will return to the TT in 2027
Ramsey Swing Bridge 'a key line' for businesses
Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
