What the petition asks
I want the standing charges for the supply of domestic energy (gas and electricity) removed. Any lost revenue could be raised by slightly increasing the KW rate charge.
The flat rate standing charges for the supply of domestic energy put an an unfair burden on those who use little energy because they live in smaller properties or consciously reduce their usage to the bare minimum because of rising prices and also to help save the planet. They are, in effect, subsidising higher fuel users.
