Is £4 standing charge for electricity too high?

Just cannot understand why the government allow the energy suppliers to charge such high rates to rip off people. This is a kind of commercial crime. The government should do something to stop it！

Have you contact any of the other suppliers - BG, Eon etc ?

The OP is on a deemed tariff, better rates are available under contract.

This is a business deal, the OP can get better prices with a bit of effort, why would you expect the government to get involved?
