Daily standing charge costs

Nuyogi

I have been speaking to a company who are in the process of providing quotes for our small business which our contract soon expires. Firstly they are indicating the best current deal may be a company called Pozitive Energy who i have never heard of, but they also mentioned that the daily standing charges are likely to shoot up next year and could be as much as £4 per day? Has anyone heard this as i cant find anything on the Internet. If it is i dont know whether to try and renew my home contract early as this cost would be huge.

It seems you are mixing business tariffs with home/residential tariffs?

DC's are a rip off whether it's for the home owner or a business. I looked at Octopus energy rates as my recent supplier, Avro, went bust and the daily rates were up to £3.49 when a homeowner pays just over 26p for each utility, so around 53p, per day. I know a business might use a lot of electric and gas per day, especially shops, but small business's, IMHO, shouldn't have to pay the same DC's as larger business's.

Our home and business daily standing charge are the same at the moment
