EDF Energy is set to refund £200,000 to customers who were overcharged for gas and electricity after using its automated telephone meter reading system.
Around 100,000 gas and electricity customers were affected by the problem over a seven-year period between 2003 and 2010.The error happened as customers in receipt of estimated bills phoned the firm's automated system after a price change to register their meter reading.
They were then charged the higher unit amount for their whole bill.
EDF is refunding a total of £200,000, including interest, with some customers receiving refunds of up to £500.
