    To the best of my knowledge there are no others...
    As per the first reply to your question, you are going to have to look for the lowest standing charge you can find and watch out for any minimum annual billing limits.

  • Thank you to MWT for your reply.

    Do a comparison and put in your gas usage as 0kWh

    You'll unlikely to get any £0 apart from Utilita, so the cheapest will have the lowest standing charge.

    Uswitch and others will not accept a value of less than £8 per month for Gas
    "Please check how much you spend on gas per month. It appears to be too low."

    You can enter annual usage of 1kWh with 'Switch with Which?'.

    Surely better to look for the supplier with the lowest total cost for your kWh usage, s/c notwithstanding? It's the total cost that matters.
    Unless the OP is actually using near-zero kWh...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    You are right of course, but for the majority of people who choose a zero standing charge tariff, they really are using very small amounts of power, a light in a garage or shed for example.
    So it really is all about the daily standing charge and the price per kWh is mostly irrelevant.
