In this podcast episode, our experts Tom Edwards and Dr. Craig Lowrey are joined by Peter Smith from National Energy Action. They discuss the complexities of standing charges in energy bills, their implications for consumers, especially vulnerable households, and the potential changes in energy pricing structures. They explore the impact of regional variations, the introduction of zero standing charge tariffs, and the future of energy pricing in a world with smart meters. The conversation also touches on the political dimensions of energy policy and the pursuit of a more equitable approach to energy costs.
