The Committee will ask about the treatment of households and businesses by suppliers and reports of a jump in the number of homes forced onto more expensive prepayment meters.
Regulator Ofgem’s boss Jonathan Brearley, and a witness at the session, has announced a review on the matter.
The follow-up session, after the Committee published its report on energy pricing in the summer, will look at the expected effect of recently announced energy support cuts on consumers and businesses.
