What is a standing charge?

A standing charge is a fixed daily fee that you pay as part of your energy bill. It’s there to cover essential costs that don’t depend on how much energy you use, such as:

• Maintaining the energy networks (pipes, wires, and infrastructure).

• Metering and account administration costs.

• Some government and regulatory scheme costs (for example, protections when suppliers fail).

Because it’s a fixed cost, you’ll still pay the standing charge even if you’re not using any energy — for example, when you’re on holiday or if a property is empty but still connected to the network.

If you're a Tulo customer you can view your current standing charge in the Tulo App or Web Portal.
