All energy suppliers have promised the UK government that they will end the installation of prepayment meters in the homes of vulnerable customers, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has said.

The department said it had also asked all suppliers to set out how they were supporting their customers, how many warrants to forcefully enter people’s homes they had applied for and how they would make up for any wrongdoing.
