answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2022 answer text <p>The standing charge remains capped under the Government’s Energy Price Guarantee (EPG), which means that a household with typical energy use in Great Britain will pay, on average, around £2,500 a year on their energy bill up till April 2023, when the EPG will be reviewed.</p><p> </p><p>The energy regulator, Ofgem, recently reviewed the components of the standing charge to see if they could be reduced. Ofgem concluded that while some low consuming users, might benefit from change, some higher consuming users, including vulnerable users, would pay more. Retaining the current methodology would protect users with greater energy needs, such as disabled users and electric heating users.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 17/10/2022 16:12:53 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
