Hi guys, I was looking for no standing charge tariffs, but there are nothing on the Cheap Energy Club search. Do such tariffs exist? If no, what are the cheapest standing charges now? Thank you.

    You have posted in the  LPG, Heating Oil, Solid & Other Fuels section.  If you post in the correct section labelled "Energy" (that covers Electricity and Mains Gas) you may get more replies.

    There's actually no need to post yourself because this topic is the subject of a very recent thread.  Specifically: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6270847/no-standing-charge-electricity-tariffs-in-2021#latest

    The SC charge component is not relevant. What matters is the total annual cost. If you do a search on any comp site using your (minimal) kWh figures, that will give you the cheapest tariff.

    Except some comparison websites have 'exclusive' tariffs with a company, and for all I know only available in certain districts.

    Arguably, it matters to those with solar; ie, fix over Winter and then choose a supplier with no SC for the summer months. Not a particularly good business model for the supplier that offers a no SC tariff if a large proportion of customers site not expecting to the pay the supplier anything whilst they are with them.
