'Billpayers, charities and businesses are being urged to give their views on daily standing charges on energy bills, as part of a review.'

'Regulator Ofgem said it wanted to open the debate over the charges, including opinions on how to change the system. Currently, energy customers pay a fixed daily charge covering the costs of connecting to a supply. But there has been anger about increasing fees and customers' inability to reduce what they pay.'

'People can submit their views via email to [email protected] by 19 January.'

Massive bonuses for the energy bosses, huge profits so what do they do ? Hike up standing charges and then expect hard working people to fork out another £28 on top to pay for other people's debts !! What a state this country is in. 😡😡
