Octopus Energy customers could save up to £676 per year on their energy bills as the company plans to scrap the daily standing charge for new tariffs. This move, driven by upcoming Ofgem regulations, aims to provide customers, especially low energy users, with more affordable options amidst the cost-of-living crisis.
Octopus Energy customers are in for a treat as they could see up to £676 slashed from their yearly energy bills . This comes after a decision to scrap the daily standing charge for those on a new tariff, a relief for consumers amidst the cost-of-living crisis .
Presently, the average standard variable tariff sees households paying 24.5p per unit of electricity with a standing charge of 60.99p daily, and for gas, 6.24p per unit with a standing charge of 31.66p each day. Ofgem reveals consumer appeals for the elimination of standing charges. Yet, concerns exist that removing these fixed costs could lead to higher bills for those who consume large amounts of energy, sometimes due to health needs.Lower consumption users could benefit from new tariffs where costs focus on unit rates rather than fixed daily charges.
