#standingcharges
Please note:

SCRAPPING #StandingCharges & INTEGRATING those charges into unit pricing to the detriment of higher gas users (like in colder, darker Scotland) are NOT the same thing!!

The government will ask #Ofgem to abolish gas #StandingCharges and move them to unit rates.

Any idea when this will take effect/how it'll work in practice? Eg: higher charges already baked in to #Octopus 12-month fixed tariff, so how will punters see the benefit?

Like many things we’ve seen under this PM, he shows that he listens and understands things that impact on people’s lives.
Fixing the broken energy sector in the UK is a major operation.
Itm he has addressed an irritation we all feel; rip-off StandingCharges.
Lighten up and give the guy some credit!

Andy Burnham proposes plan to cut standing charges from gas bills
The prime minister provided little detail, and there are questions over shifting the fees onto unit costs.

#StandingCharges on #EnergyBills could be phased.
Maybe at one-third for low users, two-thirds for average users and in full for those who use above average.
What do you think @labouruk.bsky.social?

IF ENERGY CO'S WANT TO HELP THEY COULD REMOVE #STANDINGCHARGES WE PAY EVEN AFTER CUTTING DOWN OUR USAGE TO A BARE MINIMUM

HERE'S AN IDEA: STOP GIVING RIDICULOUS BONUSES TO THE FAILING LEADERS OF THESE CO'S; USE £ TOWARDS STOP SCOURGE OF #STANDINGCHARGES FOR LOW PAID

OR BRING INTO #PUBLICOWNERSHIP

Why does Scotland pay the UK's highest standing charges?
Under Ofgem, Scots pay up to £86/year more than Londoners before using any energy.Worse, public bills foot the connection costs for private monopoly infrastructure companies while they pocket the profits. #StandingCharges #RipOffBritain
