No standing charge

Options
I am looking into changing my energy supplier and am wondering if there are suppliers out there who do not have standing charges (I will use very little gas & electricity in the future).

Also, I would like the MSE Cheap Energy Club comparison site to be able to adjust my current usage to the ones I expect in the future. How do I do that?

Any ideas? Thanks

    Only Utilita have a zero standing charge tariff, but it's loaded onto the first couple of units usage per day anyway - worth doing your calculations to see if that works out for you.

    I'm sure you can manually set your use in the Cheap Energy club - you definitely used to be able to!

    Just curious, why do you expect your future usage to be very low?
