The UK Competition and Markets Authority secured compensation for customers who faced cancelled heating oil orders during price spikes, requiring suppliers to pay the difference if customers bought replacement oil at higher prices or honour original orders if no replacement was bought.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a market where suppliers must now back payments for cancelled heating oil orders or cover replacement costs, opening opportunities if you operate heating oil sales or consumer protection services in the UK.
