uin	147461
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2023 answer text <p>The setting of energy tariffs, including the standing charge is a commercial matter for individual energy suppliers. The standing charge is decoupled from energy unit price. It is a flat daily rate that reflects the costs energy suppliers incur to provide a live gas or electricity supply, regardless of a consumer’s usage, and includes, amongst other things, transmission and distribution costs. Under the Energy Price Guarantee, average standing charges for customers on default tariffs remain capped in line with the levels set by Ofgem.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 24/02/2023 13:58:53 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
