I find it shocking that this has been known about for so long, but only now that there was a TV drama about it is it actually being addressed. It came up in the news and I thought "what, I remember hearing about this 5 years ago, surel

The most common tariff that offers these prices is capped at 100p/kWh (about 3-4x higher than the standard price). I've been on it for about 3 months and I never saw anything higher than the standard price.
