Whatever our future relationship with the EU, the UK\u2019s commitment and leadership role in tackling climate change remains undimmed and working closely with the EU on this global challenge will remain important. Leaving the EU will not change any of our statutory commitments to reduce our emissions according to the Climate Change Act (2008) which is more ambitious than the UK\u2019s EU target.<\/p>"}

BEIS Ministers and officials have received representations concerning the standing charge, which reflects the on-going costs that fall on to a supplier regardless how much energy their individual customers use. The setting of a standing charge is a commercial matter for individual companies so they are free to offer tariffs with a low standing charge or, even set the standing charge at zero to attract low energy users (the on-going costs are included in a higher unit rate which customers only pay when using energy).<\/p>
The draft Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill published by the Government on 12 October introduces an absolute price cap on standard variable and default tariffs. This means the level of the cap, which Ofgem will set, will be the maximum amount suppliers can charge customers (for unit rate and standing charge combined) on standard variable and default tariffs.<\/p>"}
