Energy suppliers failing to pass on discounts British Gas and SSE Energy Solutions have both admitted that they have failed to pass on taxpayer-funded discounts to some of their small business customers, including many motorsport businesses. They blame process issues or complex cases for a small number of discounts that have not been applied. The news comes after EDF was last week revealed to have failed to pass on discounts to at least 2,000 of its business customers. Ofgem, the energy regulator, said: "We know there is much to be done to protect non-domestic customers and we are very proactive on this."
