My gas usage is really minimal and resent paying £0.26 a day for the majority of the year for the privilege of not using any gas....my previous supplier was Ebico whom have now been taken over by British Gas so have moved me onto their punitive rates....are there any other current suppliers who offer zero standing charges for gas supply?

    It's a FAQ.

    Why would any supplier want to incur the administrative cost of managing your minimal supply requirements which includes such things a meter checks, billing etc and allow you to pay nothing? It isn’t really a good business model
