To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a cap on energy standing charges.
Graham Stuart
Minister of State (Minister for Climate)
The standing charge reflects the on-going costs that fall on a supplier to provide and maintain a live supply to a customer’s premises. Standing charges are capped under the price cap and ensure millions of households pay a fair price for their energy.
