This is another tax. You will have to pay over 40 p per day even if you use no electricity [you have the privilege of having a meter in your house in case you can afford to use electricity in the future].   You will have the pleasure of knowing that the money raised is going to good causes such as green levies and the installation of so called smart meters which save no money and few people want or would pay to have.
