The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about standing charges are a matter for utility providers and Ofgem, not the UK Government or Parliament. Standing charges taken into account by Ofgem when calculating the price cap, which is a cap on the cost utility companies can charge for a unit of gas and electricity. Find out more about the energy price cap, including how it includes standing charges, here: www.ofgem.gov.uk/check-if-energy-price-cap-affects-you.
