I have submitted my own 2 pennorth via email as follows:There are people on very low incomes using little or no energy yet standing charges remain stubbornly compulsory regardless. Clearly this is iniquitous and I feel any charges should form part of the unit rate - thus those using more energy pay more overall. I also find it strange that standing charges are not ‘standard’ charges and vary greatly; if these charges are not absorbed into the unit cost, then they should at least be equal - with allowances made for low income consumers please.

I supplied my details of renewable energy equipment and my whereabouts though I know not whether they require the latter or not. Regards, Toodles.

…and I received the following acknowledgement from them:
