Recital 23
(23) The universal and public service requirements and the common minimum standards that follow from them need to be further strengthened to make sure that all consumers can benefit from competition and fairer prices. A key aspect in supplying customers is access to objective and transparent consumption data, and consumers must have access to their dataconsumption data, associated prices and service costs so that they can invite competitors to make an offer based on these data. Consumers also should have the right to be properly informed about their energy consumption. Regularly provided information and the prepayment should be adequate and reflect their actual consumption of natural gas. Information provided at least on a quarterly basis to consumers on energy costs will create incentives for energy savings because it will give customers direct feedback on the effects of investment in energy efficiency and change of behaviour.
