Government to Direct Ofgem to Remove Standing Charge for Homes with Solar Panels
I call on the UK Government to set a strategic direction for Ofgem to ensure that energy companies remove standing charges from energy bills for households that have installed solar panels and thus significantly reduced their reliance on the national grid.
Standing charges for homes with solar panels should be removed to incentivise clean energy adoption. These charges penalise low-grid users and discourage investment in renewables. Removing them would reward sustainable choices, empower consumers, and accelerate progress toward the UK’s net zero targets by making solar energy more financially viable for households.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
