Many of us have faced difficult choices in trying to balance household budgets to meet the cost of things such as high energy bills.
Did you know that Ofgem are undertaking a consultation on energy standing charges? Now is the time for all our collective voices to make the point that we cannot continue to meet ever increasing standing charges for costs that are not directly linked to the provision of energy or maintenance of the network.
I urge all of you to visit Ofgem's website and email them with your views on the energy standing charges as this may be the only time our comments on this topic may be considered.
Details can be found at https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/ofgem-opens-conversation-energy-standing-charges-ahead-winter or you can email directly to StandingCharges@ofgem.gov.uk. Deadline for feedback is 19 Jan 2024.
