The way standing charges are distributed is imoral and thoughtless when your SC are well exceeding your energy usage and on occasions even if you don't use any energy they in most cases exceed £28 a month.This must be stopped a more fare way perhaps would be to charge a percentage of the cost of energy used. But in any case OFGEM you need to review this atrocity and the sooner the better. You disgust thousands of your customers.I have emailed my Energy Supplier Octopus twice who are a quite amicable company and reasonable supplier about the standing charge but no replies, yes that speaks for itself.Just noticed the company is based in the U.S.A !!! And I am not surprised why oh why do we have to have American involvement ...... a born disaster.Yes energy users did you know at least £28 of your monthly energy cost is standing charges ..... honestly... check your account £28 if you pay for Electricity and Gas. £20 electric £8 gas that's before you use anything. Let's complain together.
