<p>Tariffs with zero standing charge generally have a higher unit charge than tariffs
with a standing charge, as the cost to supply is only recovered when energy is used.
This tariff may benefit low energy using households but not others. Under the terms
in the supply licence, suppliers must provide individual customers with details of
their cheapest tariff and an estimate of annual savings. Customers can shop around
for the best energy deal that suits their needs by using a price comparison company
that operates in accordance with the Confidence Code, a code of practice managed by
Ofgem for accredited price comparison companies.</p>
