The Department meets regularly with a range of stakeholder to discuss energy retail market issues. Decisions about standing charges are a commercial matter for energy suppliers. The standing charge is a fixed charge that suppliers pass on to their customers to cover the cost of providing a live supply. One component of the standing charge cost relates to transmission and distribution charges, which have recently increased due to the Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) levy. The Government, together with Ofgem, is looking at reforms to ensure financial resilience in the energy retail market.

Ministers and officials regularly meet with a wide range of organisations on issues relating to the energy retail market.
Suppliers incur additional costs when serving standard credit customers compared to direct debit customers, for example through additional working capital costs and administrative costs. Rules set by Ofgem mean suppliers can only charge more for one payment method than another if the price differential is cost reflective.
There are different cap levels for customers using different payment methods. This is calculated by Ofgem applying different ‘payment method uplifts’ to the benchmark of how much it costs a supplier to supply energy.
