Action Fuel Poverty are running a campaign to write to ofgem and your local mp to abolish standing charges. They have a proforma letter, please write.

‘Please write to Jonathan Brearley, the CEO of Ofgem, to insist they scrap unjust standing charges on energy. 

We are forced to pay £300 on average, even more outside London, regardless of how much energy we use. The amount has jumped recently to pay for Ofgem's failure to regulate the energy firms that went bust. People on low incomes and with prepayment meters will suffer even more this winter.

Public anger and political pressure is mounting to abolish or reduce them, but Ofgem is still resisting! They are doing a review now and we need them to hear your voice.

Take action today by sending Ofgem this letter!

(if time, please then go here to contact your MP)

Ending standing charges would be a first step towards Energy For All, reversing the lethal situation where those with least pay most.’

The link is here, you’ll probably need to cut and paste.
