As of April 2022 till October 2022 the average standing charge for electricity on a monthly tariff was capped at 45p a day and gas at 27p a day. From 1st October it rises by 1p per day. It has but compared to a year or so ago its still a big increase on the standing charge, I can only assume that is what he is comparing it to. As an example, a year ago today I was with Symbio (who went bust soon after). Their standing charge on an old bill I just found was 11.4p a day! Bonkers how much it is now (43p in my case) but I understand why its gone up so much. The only way Jack Greys standing charge is going up that much next week is if an old fixed rate is ending, assuming he isnt talking rubbish.

They wont let Bulb go properly bust for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the idiots who will not let Bulb go under are cost you and me and everyone else a fortune last estimate I saw £150 which will be hidden in our bills due in part to the fact that they have not been allowed to hedge their energy purchases.

My gas bill from E-on has just arrived and it shows the standing charge to be 25.9p per day an a charge of 0.84p on my variable DD for actual usage! Unfortunately when percentages are used it make any increase seem disproportionally large so rising by 150% may actually still not be much as far as a standing charge is concerned. Anyway, let's see if I get a reply as to which supplier he is with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fixed charges with Eon in April as my fixed contract came to an end went up from 7p a day to 48.3 a day and gas from 7 to 27.22p a day that is over 600% for the electricity and nearly 400% for the gas.

HeHasRisen Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Indeed, mine has more than tripled in a year. If anyone is paying less than 40p a day standing charge for electricity currently, they are very lucky.

No reason to disbelieve Jack The standing charges have increased but as stated it can seem a very high increase when you use percentages. In effect all it means is you are now paying an extra £2.89pw extra on the electric account and £1.42pw on the gas account. Granted its still an increase though. 23 minutes ago, HeHasRisen said: Indeed, mine has more than tripled in a year.
