Standing Charges

MouldyOldDough

I understand why the rate for power has gone up, but on what basis are standing charges rocketting as well ?

As a low user, was £36 per month, increasing to around £55 per month (at the moment), my standing charges have doubled - having a grearer effect on my overall costs !

It will go even higher when you start to repay the Gov`s £200 loan!
11p a day higher.

Asked and answered many times on here recently.

In short, the capped level of gas standing charges has barely moved, and the electricity standing charge has gone up mostly due to the cost of the SoLR scheme.

Possibly you could read your previous thread on the same subject?
