Investigate doubling of daily standing charge for electricity, ensuring fairness
Check into the recent increase of the supplier standing charge for electricity - the price has doubled from March 31st to April 1st - this is at the same time as 54% increase in the per unit cost. Have suppliers reduce to bring back inline with inflation as a maximum
The Cost of living is crippling normal families in the UK and this is yet another way the electricity companies are siphoning extra money from end users - even when people are trying to reduce their use to bring down their bills these companies have added daily costs to force more hard money from the pockets of uk households.
